This rule does not apply to anglers who are members of the Belarusian Society of Hunters and Fishermen. They are allowed to use up to 10 hooks while fishing. The use of setlines, tip-ups, and other similar systems and tackle during dark hours is prohibited.
In case anglers violating these rules are detected in water bodies, the inspectorate officers have the right to bring the offender to administrative responsibility under Part 1 of Article 16.25 of the Code of Administrative Offences, which entails a fine ranging from 10 to 30 basic units, with or without confiscation of fishing gear.
Until February 28, a ban on catching burbot is established in the fishing grounds of the Vitebsk region, and until March 31, the ban on catching catfish continues. Good luck with your fishing! May your lines be tight and your nets full!
Any information about committed, past or intended violations of environmental legislation is very important for the inspectorate. Do not remain indifferent to the barbaric attitude towards the nature surrounding us. We ask you to report violations of environmental legislation to the Lepel Inter-district Inspectorate by phone 3-43-85.
