Last weekend, with the action of cleaning the riverbed and the shore of the Lim river, members of the Sports Club "Lim" continued preparations for the European Championship in fly fishing in Berane.
They believe that it is necessary that as many people as possible take part in the actions, to show that Berane is a good host.
"We managed to clean up around six hundred meters of the coast and basin from the middle of the Harem resort to the main road in the settlement Talum. In this section alone we collected about 40 large bags of rubbish and made several piles of different waste that we will we have to pick up with the help of mechanization," said a member of the SRC "Lim" Bosko Vulevic.
He explained that due to still very high-water levels they did not manage to reach the other bank of the river, but they would do so as soon as the water level drops in that part.
According to him, this track is actually one of the routes that will be used by fishermen from 20 European countries that will participate in fly fishing championship early next month.
"There will be five sessions in Berane, deployed on three racing days, with 20 fishing clubs already signed up, which means that we will have 100 fishermen who will be fishing here. The organizing rules are very strict, so we are expecting a lot of work in the coming days, especially in the preparation of the track," explained the president of the Sports Fishing Club" Lim "Milutin Micovic. A member of the club and champion of Montenegro in the Fly fishing League for 2018, Bojan Pesic, trying to explain the chaotic state of the nature along Lim, says that the main cause is a low level of citizen awareness when it comes to protecting the environment.
"We are intensively cleansing Lim and the coast, and you would not believe what we've come across and what amount of trash we picked up. Our people simply do not have the awareness that nature should be preserved and that they do not need to throw away garbage wherever they want. For that very reason, in the coming days, all the way to the championship, we will have increased control and every unconscientious citizen will be sanctioned," Pesic said.
The European fly-fishing championship will be held from 1 to 7 July in Berane, Plav and Andrijevica, which will be the first time that Montenegro gets the chance to host the most important fishing contest on the old continent.
Three shares are in Plav, and one in Berane and Andrijevica.
Members of the SRC "Lim" from Berane started the action of cleaning the banks of the river Lim two weeks ago, especially on the route where this prestigious competition will be held, so that both Berane and Montenegro would be presented in the best possible way to the fly fishing lovers coming from well-developed and arranged European states.
