What's in a Prague street name

Rybářská was built in 1930.

Also historically spending a lot of time by the river? Fishermen, or, in Czech, rybáři.

If you’re into a bit of fishing/angling (rybářství) yourself, you will need a rybářský prut (a fishing rod), a fishing net (rybářská síť) and some rybářská výstroj (fishing gear) generally.

Depending on where you’re fishing, you may also need a rybářský lístek (fishing permit) and, if the banks of the river aren’t enough for you, a rybářský člun (fishing boat).

However, in Czech, you don’t go fishing for compliments, but you can go hunting for them (you could say that somebody ‘Loví na komplimenty’).
