EU doesn't require a €30 annual fee for a camera drone, though. Your country might. Mine surely doesn't.

Drone reg here in Ireland (over 250g or with a camera its required) €38 for two years.

I'm registered as an operator in Ireland. This isn't per drone fee. It's a per-operator fee.

How much lift can a 30€ drone produce? A 600 gram trout could easily drag the drone underwater unless it is ridiculously overpowered.

"drops the line" == does not even try, me myself reel the fish in.

i did this with my drone. I just used a small sideways chip clip i glued to the bottom of my drone. Fly fast enough so when the line goes taunt, the line will slip out of the clip and drop.
