During the spring spawning period, recreational fishing may be allowed in certain water bodies by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection upon the proposal of the Committee for Fisheries Protection, agreed with local executive and administrative bodies, only from the shore in areas outside the spawning grounds of one float rod with one hook per angler or spinning during daylight hours.
