After the election of the officers, the delegates discussed the professional evaluator of the year for Norbert Puskás. The voluminous written report revealed that the epidemiological situation and its measures did not make fishing as an individual recreational sport in Hungary impossible. Thus, in the first months of last year, the dynamically increasing desire to switch fishing tickets to iron waters fell below the level of 2019 in only one month - in March, and then the desire to fish in Vas County also increased. Knowing the exact headcount data at the end of the year, we are pleased to report that we managed to exceed our record year of 10,217 in 2019 by 865, so in 2020 the number of anglers registered in the member associations of our association reached 11,082. In 2019, 2,755 adult fishermen bought annual tickets for iron waters, while in 2020, 383 more people, ie a total of 3,138 adult fishermen, voted to trust our fishing waters with an annual ticket exchange. It is also a pleasing fact for child anglers that we managed to increase the number of 599 annual tickets changed to 735 in 2020.

Of course, the increase in the number of anglers and changes in licenses also resulted in additional revenues, which we spent on one of our most important activities, fish farming. A total of 122,389 kg of outstanding fishing license changes were caught, while we tried to thank our fishing community with 476,000 pre-farmed fish stocks. In line with the fisheries management plans approved by the authority and the needs of the fishermen, the largest amount of carp of catchable size was deployed, of which a record amount, almost 85 tonnes, was released into the waters. Assessing the carp settlements, it should be pointed out that 22.5 tons of this extraordinary quantity entered the iron waters with the support of the Hungarian National Fishermen's Association (MOHOSZ) with the support of the Hungarian National Fishermen's Association and several other fish farmers. the installation of fishing water was also partially supported by the local fishing association during the year. In addition to the typical carp dominance in Hungary and Vas county, we also tried to plant other native fish species as much as possible. In addition, we tried to focus more on meeting the needs of white-water fishermen, so in the spring on the Rába river 4,000 pre-bred goats, in the summer 40,000 perch fry, 10,000 pre-bred perch and 10,000 balins were planted, while in Gyöngyös, Pinka and Répce 400 They were enriched with 450 catchable size trout.

In addition to carp, bream and whitefish, which are of most interest to anglers, were deployed in almost all waters, with a total of more than 35 tonnes. Another favorite of anglers is the perch, whose I. and II. By the end of the year, we managed to dump more than 1,076 kg (approximately 5,500-6,000 pieces) of the summer age group into the iron waters.
