A spawning ban is a forced measure of regulators aimed at preserving aquatic biological resources. Thanks to this restriction, the fish are able to reproduce normally. Thus, one or another type of fish is preserved. First of all, the ban was introduced to curb poaching, but today it applies to all anglers.
Spinning fishing during the spawning ban
Many fishermen are afraid to use spinning during the spawning period. Afraid of getting a fine, there are some moments when you can fish for spinning. But let’s see if it is possible to fish with spinning during the 2021 spawning ban, and also find out if the regulator can prohibit the use of the boat at this time.
Is it possible in 2021
Is it possible to fish with spinning during the 2021 ban? One of the most popular questions. For an answer, you must refer to the Federal Law N457 “On recreational fishing …”.
In this regulatory legal act, prohibited fishing tools are prescribed:
- Explosives and chemicals;
- Electricity;
- Огнестрельное и пневматическое оружие, лук и арбалет;
- Nets, with the exception of residents of the Far North, Siberia and the Far East, if fishing is used for personal purposes;
- Screening gear (nets, drags, TVs, screens and others);
- Zakidushki, poke for salmon breeds;
- Pigmentation;
- Illumination in the dark;
- It is prohibited to install stationary structures on the ice surface;
- Use of scuba gear or other self-contained breathing aids for underwater fishing;
- Any traps;
- Tackle with 10 or more hooks per fisherman;
- Trolling using a sailing and motor vessel, if more than two lures are used;
- Barriers.
Spinning does not appear in the list above, but you should not be particularly happy, since the legislation introduces other restrictions related to certain features of the lifestyle of aquatic biological resources. For example, spawning. You should also know that you need to know the list prohibiting a particular method for fishing.
During spawning, and usually it is spring, fishing is allowed only from the shore and with the help of:
- One float rod per person;
- One spinning;
- One feeder.
Donka, gum during fish breeding, is strictly prohibited.
In addition, it is worth paying attention to the allowable catch size. This is important to know, otherwise you can get a fine. Law N166 “On Fishing” gives the right to each region to establish its own restrictions. So in the Novosibirsk region, the maximum catch per person should not exceed 10 kg per day.
Некоторые виды водных биоресурсов ограничиваются максимальным выловом не весом, а количеством рыб (штук).
For a detailed study of the daily norm, you should refer to the rules of a particular region. There is also a minimum fish size limit. Let us turn again to the rules of the Novosibirsk region.
So, you should release those caught into the pond:
- Pike perch not reaching 33 cm;
- Lyosha 25 cm;
- Rakov 9 cm.
Do not forget about the types of fish that are listed in the Red Book. They are banned from mining all year round.
Spinning ban time
Many mistakenly believe that the use of spinning during spawning is punishable by law. Actually it is not allowed. As such, there is no spinning ban. Accordingly, spinning fishing in May is acceptable. This fishing gear is considered an amateur tackle. The main thing is not to forget about the above rules.
The period of prohibition for pike hunting begins with the breakup of the ice and ends on June 15th. The date is given on a general basis, but due to temperature conditions in the regions, the end of the spawning period will be different.
What are the restrictions on the number of spinning rods and hooks
It is allowed to use no more than one spinning rod per person and no more than two hooks. In some regions, even less (one hook). A tee and a double count as one hook. By the way, you can use live bait. There is no ban on this bait.
Where can you fish during the ban
Today, fishing according to federal law N166 “On Fishing” is available free of charge and anywhere. With the exception of reservoirs, where a special regime has been introduced. Certain places are also prohibited:
- Bridges, locks, dams, hydraulic structures;
- Areas of fish factories;
- At facilities intended for spawning farms;
- reserves;
- Fish farms and others.
The earlier law was stricter and the new amendments introduced some relaxations.
For violation of the above rules, an administrative fine is provided. So article 11.7 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation “Use of objects of the animal world and aquatic biological resources without permission” provides for punishment:
- For citizens 500 – 1000 rubles.
- На должностных лиц 1 000 – 2 000 рублей.
- На юрлиц 10 000 – 12 000 рублей.
Violation of the rules of fishing is regulated by Article 8.37 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. According to paragraph 2 of this article, a fine is imposed in the amount of:
- For citizens 2 – 000 rubles with or without confiscation of gear and watercraft;
- For officials 20 – 000 rubles with or without confiscation;
- For legal entities 100 – 000 rubles with or without confiscation.
If the situation is aggravated, the punishment will be more severe. Thus, Article 256 “Illegal extraction (catch) of aquatic biological resources” of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation provides:
- A fine of 300 thousand – 500 thousand rubles;
- Compulsory work up to 480 hours;
- Correctional labor up to two years;
- Imprisonment up to two years.
Отягчающим обстоятельством является использование служебного положения, либо группой лиц, либо причинение особо крупного ущерба.
The fine for fishing during the spawning period is up to 300 thousand rubles. The final amount depends on a number of factors:
- The amount of damage caused;
- fishing methods;
- Hunting places.
In addition, aggravating circumstances are: status (individual, official, legal entities), the number of violators (one person or a group of persons) and others.
Is it possible to use the boat
Fishing from a boat during the spawning season is prohibited. In a number of regions, in addition, even recreational swimming on a watercraft is prohibited. At the same time, regardless of motor or oar. Other entities do not restrict rowing boat rides. But it must be borne in mind that there should not be gear in the boat.
Control over compliance with the rules of fishing is carried out by employees of supervisory authorities. In addition to them, this function can be performed by the traffic police and border authorities. The latter may not allow fishing activities in the border area.
Conclusion
The legislator during the spawning period only allows spinning fishing from the shore. In fact, you can go fishing at any time, but do not forget about the minimum size of the fish caught and the maximum daily rate. Fines for catching fish for spawning are quite serious.
