Sport Fishing has become one of the most popular outdoor sports. However, it has changed a lot from what we had before. Nowadays, with the help of the modern industry, there is a large variety of  fishing tackle that everyone with any budget can try fishing and enjoy it.

Have you ever thought how the fishing situation in the past was? Let’s say centuries ago. Just the fishing Museum can help us to understand more about the fishing in the past.

German Hunting & Fishing Museum, the Bavaria located Museum in Munich is a good source for you to understand the fishing in the past and you can feel yourself in the duration of time when you see hooks, lines, rods & reels in the past and how they have developed to what they are today.

This museum is somehow a palace, a very nice place decorated with the hunted animals and deer and elk horns on the wall, or taxidermies of the bear. There is a large number of hunting rifles and shotguns as well as cartridges; all from old time up to now.

On the other side, there is lots of fishing related items. Old fishing hooks that were made from bone help you better imagine how human fished in about 3000 to 1500 B.C.

Fishing boats and nets are also put in a place all together and well decorated. Many replicas of the trophies have decorated the hall. The replicas of Carp, Zunder, Rainbow, Brown Trout, pike, Barbell, and grayling all show the European most common species for the sport fishers.

On the other side of the house there are fishing tackles. Old fly tying vice, fishing reels, rods, lines, leaders, and Lures can all be seen there. You also see how that famous Bamboo is made, and how the fly fishing reels were in the past. All in all, this Museum is the heritage of the past fishers and hunters that are not around us and we thank those that put all together in that nice Museum.
