Fishing Banned in Osan Stream and Hwangguji Stream with Fines Up to 3 Million Won

Starting now, fishing in Osan Stream and Hwangguji Stream will result in administrative fines of up to 3 million won.

On the 14th, Hwaseong City designated a 7km section of Osan Stream from Dongtank·Osan IC to Geumno Bridge and 16.3km of Hwangguji Stream from Daehwang Bridge to the Hwaseong·Pyeongtaek border as no-fishing zones under Article 46 of the Rivers Act.

Prohibited activities include camping and cooking.

A city official stated, "Water quality has deteriorated due to anglers' use of baits such as dumplings and illegal dumping of garbage, and illegal parking on riverbanks by fishermen has caused serious damage to facilities. We plan to create a clean river environment by designating no-fishing zones," the official said.
