Autumn fishing is prohibited. Ban - federal fisheries agency. ☸️ Prohibited fishing methods - how not to fish

Fishing is an excellent form of recreation for a large number of citizens and an opportunity to catch a large specimen of fish for a tasty, appetizing fish soup cooked in the fresh air. Depending on the place of residence of the fisherman, the body of water used for fishing (river, lake, sea), the time of year, during certain periods, the law introduces restrictions on spawning time various types of fish.

Restrictions on fishing in the spring

In spring, most fish species begin migrating to their spawning grounds. To better preserve the fish population, there are temporary restrictions on fishing in reservoirs in the regions Russian Federation.

The ban on fishing is established for a certain period of time when fish spawning occurs and depends on the climatic characteristics of the region and the types of fish migrating to spawn.

In most regions of the Russian Federation, a ban on fishing is established in the period from April 1 to May 30, but it can be shifted by 2-3 weeks taking into account climatic conditions and allows for the preservation of species diversity while simultaneously increasing the total volume of fish.

When implementing environmental measures, special attention is paid by fisheries protection authorities to compliance with fishing rules in reservoirs, water areas near dams, and sluice passages where schools of fish accumulate.

Fishing is prohibited in the spring when restrictions are introduced in the following cases:

during active spawning period fish;
using prohibited fishing gear: nets, electric fishing rods;
application fishing gear equipped with more than 2-5 hooks;
use of chemicals and explosives for fishing and systems generating electric current;
using a boat equipped with a motor(without motor);
in specially protected places(reservoirs, nature reserves, fish farms).

Features of introducing fishing bans

Amateur and sport fishing, carried out in water bodies of a certain region, is carried out on the basis of the provisions established by the rules of fishing, taking into account local climatic conditions.

The procedure for introducing bans is also established by the federal legislation “On Fisheries and Conservation of Aquatic Biological Resources” adopted by the State Duma on November 26, 2004.

List of restrictive measures regulating the procedure for fishing within certain periods:

on the permitted volume of catch of fish of a certain type;
on the characteristics of fishing gear; fishing technology;
restrictions on the size of fish allowed to be caught;
rules for introducing measures to suspend fishing.

For each region (coastal), fishing quotas for certain types of commercial fish and the procedure for obtaining them are determined. Restrictive measures for recreational fishermen and commercial fishermen are also established separately.

The conditions for fishing in water bodies where fish do not spawn are specifically stipulated - fishing is carried out without restrictions on the types and volume of fish.

Fishing gear classified as prohibited is specified:

forts;
fixed networks;
ventera;
"spiders".

Compliance with fishing rules and temporary restrictions introduced annually in the regions is monitored by the Federal Fisheries Agency, which, with the help of its employees, exercises direct control over their implementation.

Spring fishing dates

Spring fishing starts differently in each region depending on climate conditions and location. Specific numbers can be found on the Internet.

But everywhere the presence of two important factors is necessary:

completion of complete melting of ice on the surface of water bodies;
increase in water temperature in reservoirs up to +10 due to exposure to the sun and oxygen saturation.

As the water temperature rises, the fish begin to become active, especially during the pre-spawning period.

The spawning period for most fish species lasts from mid-spring to the first month of summer:

For example in Abakan This year, the spring ban was in effect from April 20 to June 20.
On the Ob the period was much shorter - from April 20 to May 20.
Nizhny Novgorod Region- from April 15 to June 15.
Khabarovsk region— from May 1 to June 30
Moscow region— from March 22 to June 1

When early spring arrives in March, the water warms up to the required temperature, the fish begin to feed - the spring fishing period opens.

In spring, fishermen prefer to use spinning rods and float rods. Particularly active are perch, pike and pike perch.

It is best to use earthworms and bloodworms as bait. It is better not to use spinners in the spring.

In April, most reservoirs are completely cleared of ice. The fish begin the pre-spawning period and actively search for food. The most active fish species are: ruffe, burbot, pike, carp, roach, silver bream, crucian carp, and chub. It is better to use jigs and earthworms as bait.

In April, restrictions are introduced on many reservoirs and therefore fishing can only be done from the shore and using a fishing rod equipped with a limited number of hooks (1-2 pieces).

In May, the spawning period ends for certain species of fish, while prohibitions continue to apply for others. Therefore, it is necessary to be careful and not violate fishing rules. Ide, burbot, rudd, and carp exhibit increased biting activity. By the end of May, catfish begin to hunt. To catch predatory species: catfish and pike during this period, it is better to use spinning rods and mugs.

Ban on autumn fishing

The timing of the autumn spawning ban also varies depending on the area and weather; on average, the spawning ban is in effect from September 1 to November 15. But you should check the latest information every fall for your area.

For example, in the Krasnoyarsk Territory and Krasnoyarsk in some places the ban begins on July 25 until freeze-up.
On Baikal The ban this year is in effect from August 20 to November 15. Also, from October 1, 2017, a ban on omul fishing was introduced.

Restrictions for fishing during the spawning season

Fishing restrictions are set in each region, taking into account local conditions.

There are general provisions for all regions limiting fishing during the spawning season.
period:

A fisherman can use only one fishing rod during fishing.(donk, float, fly fishing).
The fishing rod must be equipped with only 1 hook and have a size no larger than No. 10.
Fishing can only be done during daylight hours. Night fishing is strictly prohibited.
Fishing can only be done from the shore of a reservoir. It is prohibited to use swimming equipment for fishing.

After the end of the spawning period, all restrictions are lifted.

Fishing from a boat

During the spawning season, it is allowed to use a boat only to transport people to the fishing site using only oars. Fishing from a boat is prohibited for the entire period of the established restrictions.

How to catch more fish?

I have been active fishing for quite some time and have found many ways to improve the bite. And here are the most effective:

. Attracts fish in cold and warm water with the help of pheromones included in the composition and stimulates its appetite. It’s a pity that Rosprirodnadzor wants to impose a ban on its sale.
More sensitive gear. Reviews and instructions for other types of gear can be found on the pages of my website.
Lures using pheromones.

You can get the rest of the secrets of successful fishing for free by reading my other materials on the site.

What can you fish with?

In the spring, you can use float and bottom fishing rods, girders equipped with no more than 5 mugs.

In some reservoirs it is allowed to use spinning rods for fishing.

Spinning fishing during the prohibited period

In most regions, during the spawning season, use a spinning rod for fishing Absolutely forbidden. When retrieving a spoon, the hooks can damage the clutches of fish eggs, which leads to their death.

Responsibility for violating the fishing law

Violation of fishing rules in the spring is punishable by a fine. If a fisherman is found to be in possession of a fish that is prohibited from catching during an inspection by the fishing inspectorate, a fine is imposed on the culprit for each specimen of fish.

Cost of fish species when imposing a fine:

For carp, carp, pike, catfish, asp, fish, grass carp, silver carp - 250 rub. for 1 copy
For bream - 25 rub..
For burbot, sabrefish, tench - 20 rub.
For perch, chub - 17 rub.
For roach, crucian carp, ide - 10 rub.
For cancer - 42 rub.

If the seized fish turns out to contain caviar, the cost doubles.

When using prohibited fishing gear, a fisherman may be held criminally liable under Art. 256 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, according to which the perpetrator is fined up to 200 thousand rubles. or 2 years imprisonment.

Fines for fishing during the spawning season

According to the current legislation, for violation of established rules regulating fishing, the perpetrator may be fined
fines:

For failure to comply with the rules for the use of small vessels– a fine of 500-1000 rub. or a ban on operating a watercraft for a period of up to 1 year.
For lack of a fishing license- a fine of 500-1000 rub.. for individuals.
For damage and destruction of warning signs about the boundaries of the protected area– a fine of 300-500 rub. for individuals.
For non-compliance with established water use rules when seeing fishing– a fine of 1500-2000 rub. for individuals.
For parking a car in a water use zone– a fine of 3500-4000 rub.. for individuals.
For the extermination of fish species listed in the “red book”- a fine of 1000-2000 rub. with confiscation of fish catch and fishing gear.
For fishing during the spawning season– a fine of up to 300 thousand rubles.
For non-compliance with fishing rules– a fine of 2000 – 5000 rub. with confiscation of fishing gear and watercraft.
For fishing during spawning of valuable fish species: pike, carp, carp – a fine of 250 rub. for each specimen of fish.
Fishing with prohibited fishing gear– a fine of 100 thousand – 300 thousand rubles. or imprisonment for a period of 6 months.

Strict implementation of fisheries legislation makes it possible to preserve fish species diversity while simultaneously increasing volumes.

How long has it been since you had a really BIG CATCH?

When was the last time you caught dozens of HUGE pike/carp/bream?

We always want to get results from fishing - to catch not three perch, but ten kilogram pikes - what a catch! Each of us dreams of this, but not everyone can do it.

A good catch can be achieved (and we know this) thanks to good bait.

It can be prepared at home or bought in fishing stores. But stores are expensive, and to prepare bait at home, you need to spend a lot of time, and, to be fair, homemade bait does not always work well.

You know that disappointment when you buy bait or prepare it at home and only catch three or four bass?

So maybe it’s time to use a truly working product, the effectiveness of which has been proven both scientifically and in practice on the rivers and ponds of Russia?

It gives the same result that we cannot achieve on our own, especially since it is cheap, which distinguishes it from other means and there is no need to spend time on production - you order it, it’s delivered and you’re good to go!

Of course, it is better to try once than to hear a thousand times. Moreover, now is the season! This is a great bonus when ordering!

Ignorance of the rules does not exempt you from responsibility!

Few people think about legislation when going fishing. But, as you know, ignorance of the law does not exempt you from responsibility. Therefore, before putting away hooks, uncovering spinning rods and digging for worms, you should study where, how, what and when it is allowed to fish. So that later there will be no excruciating pain for a thinner wallet and a ruined vacation. Fishing ban 2019, terms and fines.

Let's study the laws for fishermen together!

☸️ What fishing is considered illegal in the Russian Federation, and where you can’t fish?

You can learn more about prohibited fishing from the relevant laws. For example, from Federal Law No. 166 (note “On Fisheries...”). According to this law, you can fish freely and freely if you do it on water bodies for which no special use regime has been established. But even under these conditions, you may be subject to restrictions approved by law.

The main list of restrictions is regulated by the federal body - Rosrybolovstvo.

☸️ These include...

Fishing bans in certain areas and prohibitions on catching certain types of fish.
A certain weight and size of the fish caught.
Number, type, size and design of fishing devices and fishing methods.
Permitted/prohibited periods for fishing.
Sizes, number and types of fishing vessels.
Catch volume per 1 private person or 1 vessel.

...And other restrictions.

Regarding permitted specific places for fishing in Russia, they are determined by each region independently.

☸️ The places that are prohibited everywhere are the following...

Near bridges, locks, near dams and hydraulic structures, near fish/factories and cages for raising young animals.
On water bodies of spawning farms.
On the fairway from a boat.
In nature reserves.

☸️ Prohibited fishing periods - when is it forbidden to fish?

As for the timing of the fishing ban, they are set by regions individually and change every year, depending on the situation. For example, pike spawning is the end of winter, the beginning of spring +/- 2 weeks. And perch spawning begins after the water warms up to +7.

Be careful! Fishing during spawning is strictly prohibited!

☸️ Changes in the legal framework of the fishing industry of the Russian Federation in 2019

In 2019, serious changes await the fishing industry of the Russian Federation. Changes to the federal fisheries law appeared back in 2016, but they will only take effect this year. What should fishermen prepare for?

☸️ Large-scale changes

The amendments previously made to the fisheries law are beginning to take effect. The first thing that will be changed is the revised quota system. Fishing quotas will appear for investment purposes, with the help of which the authorities want to stimulate the creation of new enterprises for processing extracted aquatic biological resources and the production of fish products. In addition, they should “push” the Russian fishing fleet to build new modern vessels at their shipyards. The function of distributing investment quotas will be assigned to federal body executive power, exercising control in the field of fisheries and the preservation of aquatic biological resources. The provision of quotas for investment purposes will be regulated by agreements concluded for a 15-year term with the owners or tenants of investment objects. In total, it is planned to conclude about 7 thousand contracts. In the near future, the Government of the Russian Federation will draw up and approve a list water resources for all regions commercial catch, requirements for investment objects, as well as the procedure for calculating and distributing the investment quota. It is already known that projects will be selected based on applications. If the requested limits exceed 100% of the investment quota shares, then it is planned to carry out a selection based on fair competition. According to the assurances of the current head of the department, I. Shestakov, this procedure will be carried out as transparently as possible, under the supervision of representatives of the Federal Fisheries Agency.

☸️ Updated coastal fishing rules

Dramatic changes are expected in the area of coastal fisheries. Even during the discussion of the future law, “coastal” became perhaps the most pressing topic. Many issues were raised, from limiting the size of watercraft to banning certain types of processing of extracted resources directly on ships. For example, freezing of caught fish and reloading of catches will be prohibited. The authorities of one or another coastal region of the Federation will determine the place of unloading. In addition, in the coastal zone it was previously possible to extract not only aquatic biological resources falling under the TAC (total allowable catch), but also those whose extraction was not subject to quotas at all. However, the new law leaves the “coastal” only the most common fish species. The federal security agency of the Russian Federation will control the transportation and shipment of caught biological resources, as well as products produced on ships. The law provides for the deprivation of fishing rights for all violators, followed by a forced cessation of their activities.

☸️Distribution of investment quotas

Investment quotas are included in the Regulations on the distribution of TAC. This document regulates the order of distribution of extracted resources regarding the types of quotas. The list of limits includes quotas for investment purposes provided for industrial and coastal fisheries. Investment quotas will be distributed among those participants who are already operating investment objects. According to the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1154, this function is assigned to Rosrybolovstvo. The principle remains the same: the enterprise’s share is multiplied by the TAC determined in relation to the investment quota. The deadline for approval of such distribution for a specific fishing period is December 30 of the previous year. After this, within 5 days the department is obliged to publish the distribution results on its own website. The resolution should come into force on April 1 of this year.

☸️ Internal ODU

On January 1, the Rules for the distribution of quotas for inland water bodies came into force. They do not apply to sea waters and those objects for which the TAC is determined within the region. Rosrybolovstvo will distribute quotas based on proposals prepared by fishery research organizations and reviewed by specialists from basin scientific and fisheries councils. When preparing recommendations, the regional characteristics of the water body, quotas for the previous period and the latest changes made by scientific organizations will be taken into account.

☸️ Types of biological resources subject to quotas in certain regions

Since the beginning of the year, Order No. 764 of the Government of the Russian Federation has come into effect. The document approves a list of certain types of water resources extracted in different regions of the country, for which investment quotas are allocated. The list is made up of the most attractive fishing sites for investors. For example, Commander squid in the North Kuril zone and Petropavlovsk-Commander subzone or snow crab birdie in the Kamchatka-Kuril subzone.

☸️ No checkpoints

Vessels operating in the northwestern part Pacific Ocean, according to changes in Resolution No. 486, they are obliged to deliver to the customs territory of the Russian Federation all caught water resources and products made from them. This innovation entailed the need to resolve the issue regarding the control points (points) that such ships must pass through. This requirement has long been outdated, as the fishing industry themselves have repeatedly noted. By eliminating checkpoints, they will be able to significantly reduce temporary losses.

☸️ New TSK

In 2016, the Ministry of Agriculture issued Order No. 294, regulating the procedure for equipping fishing vessels with technical control means. According to this document, only devices of the satellite communications company INMARSAT (14 pieces) and the only domestic model of the Gonets system, equipped with AIS (automatic identification system), are allowed for use on ships. They must replace all other technical means used previously. On ships with a displacement of up to 300 tons that do not cross 75 degrees south and north latitudes, the installation of AIS was supposed to be completed before January 1, 2018, but this period was extended for another six months. Later, specialists from the monitoring center came up with a proposal to delay the installation of permitted devices on such vessels until 2019.

Fishing is a favorite hobby of many people. But even an experienced fisherman can step on a rake, as they say. What should a person do who is not familiar with fishing, has no fishermen among his friends, but wants to go fishing? All people who count on a catch and relaxation, pleasant emotions in the process of fishing, need to know first of all that the fishing rod must be good. You also need to read some information about fish and bait. You should also study the laws that govern the actions of the fisherman.

The laws are directly related to fishing rods, because there is such a thing as poaching gear. The poacher's list of gear includes explosives, toxic substances, fishing rods with electric current, pneumatic and firearms, a fixed net and more.

The main laws for fisherman:

Federal Fisheries Law No. 166;
Federal Law On Fisheries and Conservation of Aquatic Biological Resources No. 199;
Fishing rules.

The fisherman will also have to follow special rules of behavior on the reservoir if this territory is private property or rented.

Fines for fishermen are considered the main punishment. Although the poacher may also face criminal liability. The Criminal Code prescribes the rules for handling natural resources. The rules are also specified in the Constitution of the Russian Federation. The legislative framework for this area of human life continues to actively develop and improve. It is important to monitor current changes. Otherwise, you may become a violator by accident.

How to choose a pond

In order for the catch to be good, you need to choose the right reservoir. In some places there are fish, in others there are not. Sometimes a fisherman is interested in a particular body of water - the one closest to his place of residence, for example, the best in the area. Sometimes you want to catch catfish, crucian carp, for example, and not carp or pike - the type of fish matters. There must be the right fish in the reservoir, otherwise you will have to stand for many hours with a fishing rod just like that. Planning your fishing trip in advance is important. Gone are the days when people went fishing at any time and to any body of water.

Different species have different life cycles. We must take into account the season, time of year. It is easy to find out the necessary information if you open an encyclopedia, reference book, or book about fish. There is a lot of useful information on the Internet. You should also inquire about the history of the reservoir - who protects it, whether fishing is allowed or prohibited, what kind of fish can actually be caught and at what time of the year. Reviews experienced fishermen The forums are a good source of information. Fishing is a responsible activity. There's no need to rush. It's better to plan a fishing trip. Of course, it won’t be possible to plan it, since a lot depends on luck and skill.

Free and paid fishing

If the reservoir has an administration, the tenant will most likely pay for fishing. However, you will probably be able to catch fish, and a good one at that. The populations of the species living here are taken care of at all times of the year, as is the condition of the reservoir itself.

In accordance with Federal Law No. 166, fishing is free. But it is easy to break the law in doing so. When choosing a body of water, you need to consider that:

there are areas and bodies of water where fishing is prohibited;

Some types of fish are generally prohibited from being caught;

for some types of fish, restrictions are set on the weight and size of the individual that can be caught during fishing;

in some periods it is prohibited to catch fish, in others it is allowed;

there are restrictions regarding the total amount of catch that can be taken from a reservoir by a fisherman or fishing vessel;

You cannot use some gear;

Some vessels are prohibited while fishing.

Seasonal fishing ban

Life on planet earth is cyclical. Only by traveling to different countries of the world, choosing different types fish, you can get rid of the seasonal fishing ban.

Spring spawning is the time when many fish species have the opportunity to revive their population numbers and claim dominance. In 2010, a law was passed prohibiting fishing during spring spawning; the Federal Fisheries Agency decided on the rationality and effectiveness of such measures.

The time frame for the ban period varies in different regions. In Moscow and the Moscow region, the ban comes into force on April 10, and is valid until June 10, for example. You can go fishing at this time. However, you will have to take fishing rods with a float with you and fish from the shore. A maximum of two hooks can be used by one citizen. Place them just right outside the spawning areas. Such fishing can be prohibited only under one condition - if fishing is not allowed in a given body of water at all.

The time frame for the ban is set for each region separately, because climate plays a role. In general, the period of spring spawning and spring fishing ban begins in the second half of March and lasts until mid-July. This is the so-called spring-summer fishing ban. There is also an autumn-winter one. Knowledge of the laws will help you avoid collisions with supervisory authorities and liability for violations due to ignorance or carelessness.

Responsibility for violating the ban on fishing in spring

Spring is a wonderful time of year, a favorite time for many. But, in addition to the fact that fishing in almost all bodies of water is prohibited, it is also forbidden to ride a boat, regardless of whether it has a motor or oars. So avid romantics, not only fishermen, should be aware of the ban, otherwise they will have to fill out a protocol and pay fines. If you refuse to pay, you can get 15 days, in accordance with the law. Administrative fines or administrative arrest - violation of the ban entails punishment. It is also prohibited to drive a car to coastline closer than 200 meters: due to the risk of chemicals entering the soil and water.

How to draw up a protocol

When a fishery or fisheries inspector stops an offender, he must present documents confirming his identity and position, first of all. Then he draws up a protocol. At the same time, the presumption of innocence protects the rights of all participants in the incident. The fact is recorded that the person, in the inspector’s opinion, has violated the law. Guilt has not actually been proven yet.

When filling out the protocol, politeness and a friendly attitude are an absolute advantage. The protocol form is designed in such a way that a person can immediately express his own opinion about the events taking place and describe the situation as it really is. Even if there is not enough space on the form itself, it is worth asking the inspector for another sheet of paper. As they say, brevity is the sister of talent. However, it is sometimes problematic to tell everything in a nutshell. Meanwhile, frankness can be both evidence and a mitigating circumstance, because after filling out the protocol, the materials will be transferred to the court. It is worth spending time on clarification when drawing up the protocol. Inspectors do not take bribes.

If prohibited gear is seized, the inspector must describe it in detail on a separate form. The type of gear and the degree of its maintenance are indicated. If the innocence of the alleged offender is proven in court, the gear will be returned. But if guilt is proven, you will have to pay fines and, most likely, say goodbye to your fishing tools. Experts recommend attending the meeting in person. Otherwise, the court will easily issue a disappointing verdict on all charges.

Prohibitions and restrictions for fishermen in the Moscow region are established by legislative documents at the federal level. Fishing rules for the Volga-Caspian fishery basin were approved by order of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation No. 453 dated November 18, 2014. (hereinafter referred to as the Fishing Rules). In 2018, Federal Law No. 475 was adopted, a separate law “On Amateur Fishing...”, establishing restrictions on the extraction of water resources for ordinary fishermen. It comes into force in 2020 and confirms the legitimacy of the Fisheries Rules.

This regulatory document not only introduces a ban on fishing in 2019 in the Moscow region, but also establishes other rules for the extraction of aquatic biological resources. From what date does the ban apply, when does it end, what types of fish are prohibited from catching, what other restrictions apply regarding fishing methods and types of gear, more on this later in the article.

When is fishing prohibited in the Moscow region?

The spring spawning fishing ban in 2019 in the Moscow region is part of the state policy to conserve water resources. The duration of spring restrictions depends on climatic conditions and the spawning period of fish species living in the reservoirs of the region. If spawning takes place in a different season, as for example with burbot, this feature is reflected in legislative norms. This is a common practice; such bans are introduced for the entire period of validity of the Fishery Rules.

However, amendments may be made to legislative acts, therefore, to find out when the fishing ban begins in the Moscow region in 2018, you should refer to the current, current version of the Fishing Rules. The date of last changes to this document is November 6, 2018.

In accordance with the Fishery Rules, in some regions the ban period is different for specific types of fish. In the Moscow region, such standards are established only for the extraction of burbot due to its spawning period; in other cases, the period of restrictions here depends on the location of the reservoir. Thus, the ban on pike fishing in the Moscow region, for example, does not apply, as in some other regions.
