According to the official announcement, during this period only fishing will be allowed in the “Catch & Release” form, prohibiting the keeping of fish in nets or other forms of preservation.
The Federation has announced that all sport and recreational fishing associations that are part of it are obliged to implement this decision.
Otherwise, disciplinary and administrative measures will be taken against violators in accordance with applicable regulations.
