Rules
Croatia and Slovenia publish minimum size and closed season in their own gazettes. AlgoCatch does not copy a centimetre or a month onto this page. The figures in circulation do not agree, and a stale number is worse than a pointer. Check the current text for the water you are on before you keep a fish.
