Why are we polluting the most beautiful lakes in Lithuania: the rent of the lakes is bitter, the money for fishing is often not enough even to buy a fry

 We Lithuanians are cunning fools. Some of us are trying to pollute the most beautiful rented lakes of Lithuania, growing and feeding carp. The rest of us pay pennies for the right to catch those carp, camp in tents on the shores of lakes, drink beer and throw food at the carp over the heads of people swimming by, hoping to get the carps used to eating that food enough that the carps will grab the bait as well. The more the lakes are polluted in this way, the deeper we go into the forests to try to swim in the remote lakes, grinding the forest roads with transport, but we also grow carp there.

 

Those carp not only pollute our nature and destroy more valuable fish. Carps are also practically inedible. People say that if a carp is smeared with cow dung and baked in the oven, the dung can still be eaten out of trouble, but the carp remains inedible. The business went unprofitable:

 

   

  "The lease contracts for water bodies have become useless. Almost half of the branches of the Lithuanian Hunters and Fishermen's Association did not renew them for another decade, and some of them did so after conducting surveys of fish resources. The most suitable time for increasing fish resources in lakes, rivers and ponds is gradually ending - fry are injected into them, when the water warms up to 7-9 degrees Celsius, so it is usually done in April.

 

     However, this year, a large part of the regional branches of the Lithuanian Hunters and Fishermen's Association (LMŽD) did not do it anymore. Of the 28 divisions of the society, 11, after the lease contracts for lakes, rivers or ponds valid from 2013 to 2023, were not renewed for another decade.

 

     Fry prices have risen

 

     Fry prices this year are about a third higher than they were a few years ago. For example, the price of a kilogram of zander reaches 50 euros, pike - 10 euros, perch - 12 euros, tench - 36 euros."

 

This destruction of our most important natural assets, lakes, must be banned. Only beggars and alcoholics go to our polluted lakes, normal tourists certainly don't. There is no host in Lithuania.
