Do not leave trash on the ice!

There are many ice fishing enthusiasts in our country.

Ice makes all parts and depths of a water body accessible. However, when venturing onto the frozen surface, not every angler remembers that a water body is also someone's home, and littering on the ice is akin to scattering trash while being a guest. At the end of the ice fishing season, water bodies often turn into dumps for all sorts of waste: from sunflower seed husks and cigarette butts to various plastic, tin, and glass containers. All this rubbish sinks to the bottom every spring.

Anglers must understand the consequences of their actions. And, in accordance with the Rules of Amateur Fishing and the Rules of Fishery Management, they are obliged to maintain the proper sanitary condition of fishing grounds, and not to allow them to be littered or polluted. Otherwise, they may be fined up to 20 basic units.
