Safety on autumn fishing

Autumn fishing attracts many citizens to fishing on reservoirs. Fishing is the most favorite hobby of many people. But it should be noted that this is not the safest fun, and sometimes an ordinary hobby becomes the cause of tragedy.

The rate of fish catch does not stop in the reservoirs of the Almaty region. Spring, autumn: the favorite time of fishing lovers. But, almost no one thinks about the fact that fishing is not a safe form of recreation. Since any body of water is a place of a certain risk to the life and health of people. In autumn, the water temperature is low and if the boat capsizes, the fisherman will be in the water, wet clothes will immediately pull him down, and cold water will constrain his movements. It can be quite difficult to escape in such a situation. Therefore, when going fishing, it is necessary to think through the issues of your personal safety and save yourself and other people's lives.

The main causes of such incidents are inattention, inexperience and carelessness of would-be fishermen. Let's highlight a number of rules that will allow you to go to the reservoir without consequences and mentally relax while fishing. Note that many, in order to keep up with the morning bite, go to the place "X" at night. When driving at night, it is necessary to illuminate the upcoming path with a flashlight and constantly probe the road with a stick, which can present a lot of unpleasant surprises. And do not rush, you need to walk with a measured but confident step, while keeping up with the company of friends-fishermen. The place for fishing should be chosen carefully, given the potential for trouble. It should not have high and steep shores, and areas completely devoid of vegetation warn of the presence of a strong current that passes close to the shore. Clay soil is especially dangerous, which becomes as slippery as possible near the water. It is better to choose a plot near the shore covered with grass and "decorated" with shrubs, such a place will be safer. All the equipment necessary for fishing should be carefully placed near you and provided with free access to it, and all unnecessary things should be put aside. Neatness and attentiveness are the key to successful fishing; everything you need is at hand, and unnecessary things are in the basket.

In order to avoid accidents on the water, the Emergency Department of the Almaty region reminds fishing enthusiasts of precautions:

- Before launching a swimming vehicle into the water, carefully check its condition, make sure it does not leak, whether the oars are serviceable; - A life jacket should always be worn on you and have a whistle with you;

This must be remembered. Safety can only be guaranteed by a properly equipped and serviceable swimming facility.

- a fisherman who is going to fish from a boat must be able to swim;

– to minimize the risk of accidents, it is best to fish not too far from the shore;

- avoid going to the pond in windy weather and at night;

- do not drink alcohol, as it slows down the reaction, relaxes attention and dulls the sense of real danger;

- have a mobile phone with you;

Remember, no matter what happens on a fishing trip, it is necessary to remain calm, clear of mind and act according to the circumstances. Only then is it possible to have a good rest and avoid emergencies.

If you need help, call the emergency phone number "112" or "101".
