Fishing
 In
Hungary fishing is a very popular pastime with over 3% of the population
participating. Hungary has warm clean waters which result in big catch's,
with fish such as Carp, Cat fish, Bream and Pike. The Hungarians have
a tendency to eat the fish they catch so you may receive some strange
looks if you throw a fish back.
Hungary hosted the 2007 World Fishing Championship at Lake Valence
– an area between Budapest and Lake Balaton.
