We also have two different salads and baked potatoes.

My granddad used to hang several fishing lines with earthworms on the hook in the Wethau (the name of the stream that flows through Wethau) early in the morning and then checked on them several hours later and caught his trout that way. But that was still in the GDR. If someone did that today and was caught, the fine would certainly be extremely expensive.

That sounds good and tasty. I really like smoked fish and when you make it yourself, you know what's on your plate.

I remember that too, it's a fond memory of my grandfather. As a little girl, I was always allowed to go with him in the morning to check the lines. However, they were always laid out overnight for eels. A wonderful memory. There are still many active anglers in our family, something that has been passed on. The memory brings a smile to my face and a little tear to my eye at the same time.

I know this phenomenon, you are a bit older and from my point of view you have arrived in life and are more stable.

Sometimes I ask myself what stops us from doing something that we used to enjoy doing.
Is it really always just the time, or is it also partly convenience in a world that is spinning ever faster?
I'm sure you know that priorities are always shifting, depending on the stage of life and the situation.
In your case in particular, I can well imagine that you would still do this today because you also have a conscious approach to food and its origins and also like nature.
Sometimes you have to "force" yourself to make time.
We kept some for today and tomorrow, the rest was then distributed among family and friends.

I used to get up at 4 a.m. so that I could be at the lake at 5 a.m. The best time is always in the morning. Now I just don't have time for that anymore. I get up at 6.00 a.m. every morning and then work starts at 7.00 a.m.. At the moment I have to go to 7 places because we have separated the animals because of the eggs that we are hatching now. I am usually finished by 9.30 am and then I have my second cup of coffee.

And then it goes on depending on what comes up this morning e.g. I cleaned the swimming pools for the geese and ducks and let in fresh water. about 3000 liters, but we have a well for water and not from the water pipe.
Today at 3.30 p.m. I'm going out into the garden with my wife to drink coffee and let the animals run free. I then take the geese and ducks and take them for a walk, they listen to me and run along nicely.

😂It is possible...


However, I think this opinion about fishing is perfectly acceptable... But like most things, it's a matter of taste... At my work, it feels like every second person fishes in some way😄

i've had a fishing license since I was 15 and often fished with my dad on the rhine near kleve (Bislich) without a float on the bottom.
