Felchen, a traditional fish of Lake Constance (Bodensee), has seen its catches become rare due to dramatic population decline over the past decade. Following a three-year protection period implemented in late 2023, experts from four nations are currently meeting to determine the future fishing regulations for the species. While some regional authorities advocate for allowing fishing again, any return will likely involve stricter conditions rather than a full reversal of previous rules.
