Conserving Natural Values – A Core Principle of IBCC

The IBCC is about more than just carp fishing – it’s also about respecting nature. Competitors handle each catch with great care, following strict fish protection rules. The fish are only kept on shore for a very short time, and are then gently and safely returned to Lake Balaton.

This approach ensures that the competition is conducted in a sustainable way, preserving natural values so that future generations can also enjoy the experience of fishing in this unique environment.
