Lovers of winter fishing are reminded of the need to comply with safety rules

Winter ice beckons avid fishermen. They can't wait to drill a hole and catch a fish. However, ice is not the only threat. Trying to warm up, amateur anglers sometimes get burned when using gas equipment, and sometimes they are poisoned to death by carbon monoxide in a tent, as happened recently on Lake Uelgi in the Kunashak region.

 

Rescuers remind fishermen of the rules for safe winter fishing. Going for a catch, you need to take with you a fully charged mobile phone and a flashlight, a reflective vest, 2-3 hand flares, a compass. It is better to go fishing not alone, but with a friend who has been to this reservoir more than once and knows the area well. But it is better not to take children with you on a fishing trip. It's also best to stay close to the main group of fishermen on the ice. Before using gas heating equipment, it is important to ensure that it is working properly, and you also need to regularly ventilate the tent.

 

If the weather or health has worsened, it is important to immediately leave the pond or call for help by phone 112. If you happen to get lost, it is more correct to stay on the ice, not to climb into the reeds.
