However, some subscribers indicated that it is impossible to catch pike now.
"Spawning at the pike. It is forbidden to catch", "And you don't have a ban on fishing now? Spawning is going on", "Pike can not be caught, it is with caviar now", "In the Rostov region, a ban on catching pike 15.03−15.04. And yesterday the so—called operation "Putin" started - boat trips with a motor are prohibited. So you, comrade artist, are a poacher," users write.
