There are many ice fishing enthusiasts in our country. At the end of the ice fishing season, water bodies often turn into dumps for all kinds of waste: from sunflower seed husks and cigarette butts to various containers. All this rubbish sinks to the bottom every spring.

Anglers must understand the consequences of their actions. And, in accordance with the Rules for Fishery Management and Fishing, 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.
