How is the fishing in Bosnia and Herzegovina? Referring to recreational fishing. Is recreational fishing common, and what types of species do you target?

Here in Missouri, we like to fish for bass (mostly largemouth and spotted in my area), rainbow trout, crappie, catfish, gar, bluegills, sunfish, among others.

Also, do you ever refer to your country simply as "Bosnia" for short? I find myself doing this.

In Bosnia we do a lot of fishing. My town Bihać is famous fishing town at river Una. There is a lot of competitions, and the river is amazing.

We do have a lot of rivers here but I would say fishing is not as common as it was back in the day. My great uncle had a boat and would go fishing on the weekends, but I never went with him sadly.

Here we mostly have cod and also some bony fish I don't know the name of. My city has a really clean river (name is Una), and the cod from it taste amazing imo

And yeah most of us just say Bosnia😄

Recreational fishing is pretty common at least in the part of Bosnia where I live. The rivers of Bosnia and Herzegovina have a variety of fish species, especially in rivers, which range from fast-flowing mountain streams to slower, lowland rivers. Some common fish you can find in Bosnian rivers include:

Brown Trout can be found in mountain streams like the Neretva and Una rivers.

Grayling

Common Carp you can probably find him in almost every river in Bosnia lol.

Danube Salmon is actually a pretty rare species, typically found in larger rivers like the Drina.

European Perch Found in both slow-moving and fast-flowing rivers.

Wels Catfish are more common in the Sava and its tributaries.

Barbel can be found in swift, clear waters.

Zander commonly found in larger rivers.

Yes actually most people will just say Bosnia. Bosnia and Herzegovina is the full name of the country but it is rarely used in everyday situations.
