Not every fishing enthusiast knows the rules of fishing. This is because these are relatively new rules, and it will not occur to everyone that they exist. Indeed, according to many fishermen, this is just a hobby. To understand what are the rules of fishing, read the article.
Main rule
Since at the beginning of 2018 the fishing law underwent some changes, it is natural that they also affected amateur fishing.
The most important fishing rule today - fishing for lovers is now free and free.
This means that all bans on fishing in fishing areas have been lifted. This is due to the elimination of the latter. But even though fishing has now become free, it’s still impossible to come and fish anyway. This applies to fishing areas, for fishing on which you need the consent of their owners.
Also among the rules of fisheries, such a thing as the daily rate of fish catch has appeared. It varies by region and basin. Under the concept of a caught fish, one that is in a live or cage also falls.
Fishing spots
According to the rules, fishing spots are divided into two types:
- Common area.
- Cultural fisheries. Here you can go fishing sport fishing enthusiasts. In this case, it is necessary to issue a fishing license. You can fish for free or pre-paid. If a person is a member of the fishing community, then he can count on a ticket, which gives him the right to benefits.
Types of fishing
Today, fishing has grown so much as a direction that several species have appeared. It is worth considering each of them in more detail.
- Amateur fishing. A distinctive feature is that the catch will not be used for commercial purposes, which means that the fisherman will not receive profit from it. Each region has its own rules for fishing enthusiasts, as well as permitted devices and a ban on spawning.
- Sport fishing. This direction is due to sports interest. The fisherman is interested in catching the largest and heaviest fish. For sport fishing, you need to purchase a fishing ticket, a fishing permit, as well as regulations that are based on this law. Sport fishing takes place at a special facility.
- Commercial fishing. Its main point is to catch as many fish as possible, and then sell it. Before fishing, it is necessary to determine the type of prey. It can be white, black or red fish. And only then a license is issued, according to which it is forbidden to catch fish of another type. But despite the license, it is allowed to catch the minimum volume of those fish that are not in the document.
It is important to know that each individual type of fishing has its own prohibitions. They relate to the spawning period, as well as fishing gear and gear.
Catch rates
Since this year, the rules of recreational fishing established the size of the daily catch. One fisherman can catch no more than five kilograms of fish per day. As for large specimens of production, an exception is made for them. This means that if a person caught one fish per seven kilograms, then you will not have to divide it. It is important that this rule of recreational fishing is not fixed - each region has its own daily rate.
One fisherman can take out fish no more than from the calculation of fishing in two days. True, this amount is multiplied by two. For example, if the norm per day is five kilograms, then the fisherman can carry twenty kilograms. Because at first we multiplied the daily rate by two, and then another two. By the way, all fish are considered, even the one that was cooked in the pond.
Moreover, the new fishing rules also limit the number of fish that are considered live bait. One fisherman can take with him no more than thirty pieces.
Minimum fish size
So, during amateur fishing you can catch:
- Pike perch from forty centimeters long.
- Asp also from forty centimeters.
- Freshwater catfish ninety centimeters long.
- Sazana from forty centimeters.
- Chub from a length of twenty centimeters.
- Bream from twenty-five centimeters.
- Pike from thirty two centimeters.
Crayfish and valuable fish
The new fishing rules also limit the number of crayfish caught. Only thirty pieces can be caught per person. This number of cancers is allowed to catch per day.
But there is good news - catching small fish is unlimited.
But fishing for silver carp, pike perch, common carp or fish has a clear framework. And here it is already considered not the weight, but the number of carcasses. The new rules for recreational fishing are constantly changing. The same applies to the daily catch rate.
What happens if you break the rules?
It is not enough to observe the rules during fishing, you still need to park the car correctly. There were cases when people were fined who had not even started fishing.
So, parking a car is only possible:
- On an asphalt road.
- On special paved areas.
- Away from the water protection zone.
By the way, the length of the water protection zone depends on the reservoir and can range from fifty to two hundred meters. By the sea it is five hundred meters.
Woe-fisherman, who did not know about this, can receive a fine of three and a half to five thousand rubles.
Violation of fishing rules
Changes in the rules of fishing affected sanctions for violation of these same rules. If they are violated, this may entail the confiscation of the catch and the vessel with which fishing was carried out. In addition, fines of two to five thousand rubles are imposed for violations. It seems that the amount is small, but the violation is not particularly serious.
But for fishing during fish spawning, you can get up to three hundred thousand fine.
Spawning ban
For 2018, the rules of fishing established periods of spawning, that is, a ban on fishing. It makes no sense to list all of them, so we will give just a few as an example:
- On the Amur River, or rather its tributaries - from June 20th to August 20th. In the tributaries of the river - from the first of September to the thirty-first of October.
- On the border of Kargopolsky, Konoshsky, Nyandomsky, Velsky, Shenkursky, Ustyansky, Verkhnetoyemsky, Krasnoborsky, Kotlas, Vilegodsky - from May 1 to June fourteenth. In Onega, fishing is prohibited from the first of July until the time of freezing.
- In Astrakhan, fishing for crayfish is prohibited from April 1 to June 30. Outlawed fishing from April 20th to June 20th.
- In Bryansk, you can not catch pike and ide from March twenty-fifth to April twenty-fifth.
These are just some of the limitations.
Outlaw fishing methods
Despite the rules of fishing in the Rostov region, Amur or Krasnodar Territory, there are general prohibitions on the method of fishing. The reason for such bans is ecosystem disruption or a large catch at a time. In addition to the fact that it is forbidden to fish during the spawning period, some fishing methods are also prohibited.
Among them:
- Stunning fish with explosives or current.
- Fishing from a vessel with a motor, and stretching lures in an amount of more than two.
- Use while fishing highlights for water hunting and catching.
- Self-building dams.
- Fishing with the help of circles with more than a dozen hooks.
- Catching fish through the descent of the pool.
- Installation of a hut on ice.
- Catching fish with firearms or pneumatic weapons.
If a fisherman wants to try some special method, for example, spearfishing, then, according to the Volga-Caspian fishing rules, he needs to get a fishing ticket. For fishing from a boat its registration is required.
Fishing in the Azov-Black Sea basin
The rules of recreational fishing in the Azov-Black Sea basin determine what kind of fishing is possible in the Azov and Black Sea. The rules govern the activities of legal entities, individual entrepreneurs and individuals who fish not only on the seas, but also in inland waters. The rules also regulate the permitted amount of catch for research, industrial, cultural activities and in coastal fisheries.
In addition, the fishing rules for the Azov-Black Sea basin allow or prohibit one or another type of fishing. They indicate the parameters of permitted fishing, as well as its timing.
Punishment for poaching
The fishing rules in the Black Sea basin also establish a penalty for poaching. It can be criminal if the damage caused by poachers is more than one hundred thousand rubles. The use of a self-propelled watercraft, as well as poisonous or explosive substances, may also serve as a basis for criminal liability. Also, this can include the use of current or prohibited fishing methods.
For poaching, they can also be attracted in case of fishing during the prohibited spawning period or in those places where the fish migrate to spawn.
Poachers are also considered people who fish in places where an ecological disaster zone or emergency ecological situation is officially declared.
In the case of proven poaching, a person falls under criminal liability. He is assigned a fine, which can reach up to a million rubles or represent the amount of wages for sixty months. In addition to fines, the court may order correctional labor for a term of two years or a ban on the right to hold a post also of two years. Imprisonment can also be applied as a punishment. The term of deprivation reaches five years.
What can fish surveillance?
The fishing rules for the Azov-Black Sea basin also explain the powers of the Fish Inspection. The employees of this body have the right:
- Check with fishermen for documents that permit fishing.
- Detain persons who violate the rules and deliver them to the police department.
- Inspect the personal belongings of the fisherman, his vehicle and fishing equipment.
- Seize the catch, vehicle or fishing gear and documents from those who have violated the rule.
- Issue an order that the violation has been stopped, draw up an administrative offense report, consider the case under this protocol or send materials in order to initiate a criminal case.

It is issued by a branch of the Federation of Underwater Fishing (RFPR) or an organization that trains underwater hunters. Naturally, the organization’s license should be in order.

Conclusion
To summarize, you can use the following words: in order to enjoy fishing for a long time, you must respect the nature and laws governing fishing.
After all, they were invented not just like that, but in order to preserve the species diversity of fish and their natural habitat as long as possible. Using forbidden devices, you harm fish. For the sake of profit, some several thousand rubles will have to be paid by the extinction of one or another species of fish.
As for spearfishing, the main thing here is to observe safety precautions, and, of course, the laws of our country. It doesn’t matter what the fishing rules are (the Caspian basin or the Azov-Black Sea), they just need to be followed. In the end, many species of fish have already ceased to exist due to human activities, do you have a desire to cause the extinction of the rest?
