when the otters started to die out in the UK in the 1950s. it was the members of the otter hounds who alerted the ministry of agriculture to the fact that otters were becoming scarce. the hunt master would always leave a number of breeding pairs undisturbed to ensure that they would be able to hunt their offspring. it transpired that DDT a chemical pesticide was killing off the otters. had it not been for the huntsmen the government would have not known there was a problem caused by mass pollution by big business.
i do not condone otter hunting but for every animal that a hunter kills, industry kills off a thousand- what is more hunters leave habitat uncleared to provide cover for game. big industry poisons hundreds of hectares every year so that nothing will grow there.

Wildlife in Poland has not been hunted to extinction, far from in. On my farm herds of deer, flocks of pheasants and Hare are very common, more than daily sights. Hunters feeds the wild boar and deer in winter. Pheasants are reared in massive numbers then released (only 20% of the farm reared Pheasants are shot the rest fall to natural predators). Hunters have to pay a fee for every animal they kill - Hare cost 75zl for instance.
Dogs can be shot if they are more than 150m away from a house without a collar; not nice but they are dangerous themselves.
Merged: Does anyone know anywhere to go carp fishing in poland?
Does anyone know anywhere to go carp fishing in poland. I fished paprocany in tychy and caught nothing i saw some place called carp valley in poland. But wondered if anyone knew any good lake preferabley south of warsaw
I saw a polish guy catch a pike or schupak (my polish spelling aweful) in tychy water and 4 tonne of carp went into paprocany in tychy before i left the fishing tickets are very reasonable you usually need to go on a course and have instruction to get your licence but if your a foriegn holiday maker you just pay per visit. I had to take my own own tackle as hiring out thier was non existant. I am lucky to have such a wonderfull girlfriend to translate for me. it is easy to obtain a licence so ignore people who say it isnt the licence allows you to fish a number of lake in the region but the water balliffs raely speak english hence the need for a polish translator.
The missus and I will be travelling to Poland in about June or July this year. Are there any keen anglers out there who can tell me where/where not to go, what I can catch, rigs to use etc?? Thanks for the help.
Hey, I thought about creating a thread which would be free of political debates. Let`s relax!
I have always been fascinated with underwater life, fish and fishing but for 20 years now this fascination has been of platonic nature as one day I decided to give up fishing for humanitarian reasons.
What are the common fish species angled in Poland? You can answer in Polish or English. Let`s crack a few riddles:
What`s this?
Record catch, 4.95 kg and 62 cm long.
PS. Most anglers in Poland take their fish home to eat. Please, respect this tradition.
Yes, I was never fond of rainbow trout, contrary to my parents who considered it delicious. Today I don`t them as there are so many finer fish available.
