The Kyrgyz government has proposed a draft resolution to significantly reduce the cost of fishing permits for amateur and sport fishing in state-managed waters, including the popular Issyk-Kul Lake. This move follows a directive from President Sadyr Zhaparov aimed at making recreational fishing more accessible. The proposed changes would lower permit fees by approximately one-third. The draft resolution is currently undergoing public discussion, allowing citizens to provide feedback on the proposed price reductions. Authorities hope the lowered costs will boost tourism and encourage responsible fishing practices. The initiative intends to stimulate local economies around Issyk-Kul and other fishing destinations. Public comments are being solicited before the resolution is finalized and implemented.
