Das Fischen wurde Arthur in die Wiege gelegt und so fischt er bereits in der zweiten Generation am Zugersee. Sein Grossvater hatte eine Fischerei in Vitznau, die heute sein Cousin betreibt. Sein Vater kam 1942 als Fischerknecht an den Zugersee.
Längst könnte er seine Pension geniessen, und auf seine Weise tut er es auch. Doch mit achtundsiebzig Jahren hat Arthur noch nicht genug vom Fischen.
Immerhin schenkte er sich letztes Jahr die Fünftagewoche und arbeitet am Samstag nicht mehr. «Am Sonntagabend setze ich die Netze, damit wir am Montag etwas zu tun haben. Alle Alten fischen noch, schau der Emil Speck …».
Arthur was born into a fishing family, and so he is already the second generation of his family to fish on Lake Zug. His grandfather had a fishing business in Vitznau, which is now run by his cousin. His father came to Lake Zug as a fishing labourer in 1942.
He could have been enjoying his retirement for years, and in his own way, he is. But at seventy-eight, Arthur still hasn’t had enough of fishing.
At least he gave himself the five-day week last year and no longer works on Saturdays. ‘On Sunday evening, I set the nets so that we have something to do on Monday. All the old guys still fish, look at Emil Speck…’
