I have been living in Finland for 10 years and I have managed to appreciate that in many areas of the country everything is organized relatively conveniently and thoughtfully.
Но лично мое мнение — точно не в области рыболовных правил и законов.
If everything is more or less clear with the main table of rules dedicated to fishing on a float and one spinning rod, then when it comes to other types of fishing like zherlitsy, crustaceans, trolling on several rods or fishing on special reservoirs, everything becomes much more complicated.
I remember how I struggled for a whole year trying to understand and find out where you can still buy licenses for winter zherlitsy. It is especially difficult without knowledge of Finnish. But even now, having mastered a certain level of language, having analyzed the laws in sufficient detail, it is still difficult to give an unambiguous answer to some questions.
Основных проблемы две. Первая — разные правила для разных регионов и даже водоемов. Вторая — отсутствие единого ресурса где можно приобрести дополнительные лицензии (например жерлица или сеть). Продаются они где попало, то в магазине спортивных товаров, то в Р-киоске, а по моему месту жительству так вообще в местном баре.
Also, COMPLETE information about restrictions on reservoirs with maps, license sales, and catch restrictions are scattered across different resources. The English versions are not complete, and sometimes there are no Russian versions at all.
But allow it, even if you live in Finland (even if you are a visitor) it's so hard to figure out what to say about tourists?
I understand that any rule is made up for a reason, and each one has its own need. But it is absolutely necessary to systematize them and create a certain standard, even if to some detriment for the fishing industry or fishermen. Otherwise, tourists ' ignorance of the real, most complex laws unwittingly creates conditions for their violation.
In my next video, I answer the most popular questions about fishing rules.
