[HIGHLIGHTS] More and more black fishermen in the Isar: “I think it’s a mess”

There have been several cases of black fishing on the Isar in recent weeks. Black fishing not only harms the clubs, but also the animals.

Poachers are also up to mischief in the territory of the Geretsried fishing association. Blackfishing is currently not seriously endangering the fish population, says club boss Florian Willibald. The district fishing association is campaigning for ‘massive penalties’ for blackfishers.. The number of cases is increasing according to March. “It’s starting to happen,” says Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen board member Michael März, “Apparently there are more and more of them” Another case recently caused a stir. Between Wallgau and Vorderriß, fisheries supervisors discovered a conspicuous net (we reported). The suspect is a man from southern Upper Bavaria. The fishing consists only of a line with a hook and bait, � “The fish die miserably,’ explains Florian Herzinger.
