Pazardzhik Region Under Intensified BIA / IARA Control During Summer Fishing

During the summer season, the waters in Pazardzhik region turn into a stage for fishing excitement, as amateurs pursue carp, bream, and roach in reservoirs and small water bodies, while in the Maritsa and its canals fortunate catches of chub and bream are rolled for feeder anglers. Fishermen who target deeper areas often encounter predatory species and catfish, provided the lure is suitable. In the trout zones near the mountainous areas there is also activity, but the exploitation rules there are stricter.

Now the warning for stricter control is activated: inspectors from IARA – Pazardzhik are conducting day and night checks. A recently large-scale operation in the region with over forty checks and dozens of inspected anglers showed that thorough inspections do not make concessions and fines arrive with every violation.

Most often, checks target prohibited means such as nets, parachutes, and other banned fishing gear, but compliance with the daily limit of three kilograms of fish for amateur fishing is also monitored, as well as possessing a valid license. If an inspector catches undersized specimens or an overcatch, fines are imposed, and equipment may be confiscated and handed over to the state warehouse.

Therefore the team calls for responsible behavior over the weekends: avoid dubious methods, check your tickets, and allow the smaller fish to grow so there will be a wave and thrill for the next time as well.

Good luck to all the fishermen in the region.
