If this place has been polluted, cleaning will be made before the start of fishing.

 

Appendix No. 7 to Ordinance No. 197/2004 Coll.

 

Techniques of rod fishing, permitted technical means of fishing and other ways of fishing in the fishing locality

Techniques of fishing

Fishing is made with rod, line or nylon, fish hook or bait:

(1) Fixed position of bait

It is fishing with 1 or 2 rods with a bait at the bottom. The rod may be placed in different types of stands or hold it in hand. Move of bait is not actively influenced by the fisherman. Fishing with the fixed bait may be combined with a free float-ing possition of bait.

(2) Free floating possition of bait

It is fishing with 1 or 2 rods with a bait, which may be in move (taken by the stream of water) or even in calm (still wa-ters) adjusted in free heigth of water column. Adjustment of bait is ensured mainly by the float. Movement of the bait may be actively influenced by the fisherman. Rods may be placed in differenet types of stands or held in hands. Fishing in this way may be combined with fixed possition of bait.

(3) Spinning

It is a fishing with one rod only, when the rod is held in the hand, another rod must not be set. Bait is actively driven through the water environment. This method may be used for predatory species and salmonid species mainly. Spinning describes even fishing with an artificial fly or fly fishing in case of use of spinning bait or a fly equipped with a device such as rotating metal, little propeller, which increases fish attraction while moving.

(4) Deep-water spinning

It is a fishing with one rod only, where there is one bait only, another rod must not be set up. Deep spinning char-acterises pulling the bait behind the moving fishing boat in different depth of water. The bait may be moved maximum in the distance of 20 m behind the moving boat and must not endanger the publicity.

(5) Fishing with an artificial fly

It is a fishing with one rod only and with an artificial fly casted with a flyfishing line, and another rod must not be set. Fly fishing line may be substituted with nylon, when floating is ensured by the ball or other float, possibly other weight. When fishing with an artificial fly you may use maximum of three tips and on each of them one single hook only. If the bait is equipped with a double or triple hook, you may use one tip only. Under „artificial fly“we understand baits imitating insect or other organisms. Bait must not be equipped with devices such as rotating metal, little propeller which increase attrac-tion for fish. These devices are considered for spins.

(6) Fly fishing

It is fishing with one rod only with a fly fishing line, another rod must not be set. Fly fishing line may be substituted with nylon, when the floating function ensures the ball float or another weight. When fly fishing you may use maximum of two tips and on each tip you may use one single hook only. If the baits are equipped with a double or triple hook, you may use one tip only. As a bait you may use live or dead insect as well.

The bait must not be equipped with a device such as rotating metal, little propeller, which increases the attraction for fish. These devices are then considered for spins. Fly fishing you may use in non-salmonid waters only.

(7) Fishing predatory species

It is the way of fishing predatory species (pike, pike-perch, catfish, asp) mainly, e.g. spinning, deep-water spinning and fishing with baits abundantly determined to their fishing e.g. spinning and baits used for fishing with a spin, multihooks, wad of worms on bigger hooks, small fish, mouse, mole.

(8) Boat fishing

It is a fishing performed from a fishing boat or from a floating inflatable fishing tool determined to fishing. A fish-ing person performing the fishing must respect all navigatory regulations and regulations modifying operation of a floating device.

(9) Catching a live bait into stake nets

It is a fishing of live fish with a horizontal net of the maximum area of 1 m2.

(10) Allowed means of fishing

Attractors, fishing boats, floating inflatable fishing tools determined to fishing, echo sounder, landing net, rod, stake net, net with supporting circles, gauge, rod forks, floats, weight.

(11) Buoy fishing (it is not a part of Supplement No. 7 Ordinance 197/2004 Coll.)

It is fishing of predatory species with approved floating device (buoys, floats etc.), (buoy as follows). Buoys, which are not a solid part of a rod, are prohibited. When fishing predatory species buoys of maximum dimensions and supporting buoy with dimensions do not exceed 6 x 6 x 30 cm may be used, or two buoys of maximum dimensions 10 x 10 x 10 cm, which are connected with a connector in maximum distance up to 150 cm. Connection of buoy and supporting buoy must ensure disconnection after strike and the supporting buoy would not be a part of a rod. As a buoy must not be used untreated polystyrene and untreated plastics (incl. PET bottles). System od buoy may be anchored either between bait and rod or even behind bait, but always it must be a part of a rod. Whichever device (buoys, floats etc.) determined for fishing of predators, must be taken from water after the end of fishing. The purpose of a buoy is to keep the bait in selected depth. Buoy must be visible from the place of a fishing person and with its dimensions it must not a help for playing with a hooked fish. It is valid even for this way of fishing that a fishing person must be present near the rods in order to be able to handle with them immediately. System of buoy must not be supplied with another system of hooks. It is forbidden to have casted rods in water without a bait.

As a buoy it is considered every signal device (float), used for fishing of predators, or a system of two and more buoys connected (with a stick, spring, wire, nylon etc.), which target is to keep the bait under water in the way it did not bound with a line.

Buoy may be laid within the distance of 25 m from the bank in all directions in order not to limit the other fishermen and if it is not said otherwise the inner third of water area should stay free for navigation
