In Beyşehir, professional and amateur hunting closely monitored
In Konya, with the start of the new fishing season in the lakes, both professional and amateur fishing activities are under strict supervision.
Following the commencement of the freshwater fishery season in Beyşehir Lake, one of Turkey's significant freshwater fish production centers, inspections were conducted to ensure compliance with size regulations for caught fish. Inspection teams from the Beyşehir District Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry continue to monitor the lake even during the open fishing season. With the end of the fishing ban and the beginning of the new fishing period, the teams have intensified their inspections to verify whether fish caught at the lakeside fish scales meet the size limits.
Amateur fishing also monitored
According to a statement accompanying the inspections led by District Director of Agriculture and Forestry, Hüseyin Özver, it was noted that inspections cover not only Beyşehir Lake but also local ponds within the district boundaries concerning recreational amateur fishing. The statement emphasized the inspection of fish scales, stating, 'Our inspections of freshwater fish continue uninterrupted in ponds within our district and in Beyşehir Lake. For amateur fishing, each person is allowed up to 4 hooks per pond and 1 hook per person in Beyşehir Lake. It is reminded that there is a size limit of 40 centimeters for carp, 26 centimeters for perch and velvet carp, and 20 centimeters for freshwater mullet. We wish all stakeholders in the fishing sector a fruitful fishing season.'
