BW likes to fish. And when we go home in the summer, the men in his family travel to Wisconsin to spend a weekend on a big boat, fishing their hearts out.
Unfortunately, it was a bum year; these are the only fish they caught:
BW also tried fishing in North Dakota. Not even a bite.
Stupid fish.
In an effort to fill BW's fish-less life, I did a simple Google search: "Fishing in the Czech Republic".
I had no idea!
There are fisheries, guided tours, fly-fishing, youtube videos, stocked ponds, competitions, equipment for hire... there's even a Czech Anglers' Union. We don't have poles or tackle here, so the possibility of renting them for a day is a welcome find.
This article from expats.cz has a lot of info on where to go (though it's from 2011).
In February, we spent a few days in the Vysočina Region of the Czech Republic and ate at an excellent freshwater fish restaurant called Malostránský Pivovar, in the town of Velké Meziříčí.

Hopefully, thanks to Google, before long BW will be able to catch his own fish for dinner in the Czech Republic!
