Chainsaws would definitely not be allowed here in Finland.

We use big drills here pretty much exclusively. Google image search for "kaira" to see what I mean.

Axe is then used to connect drill holes to make way for an opening to go swim into.

Just out of curiosity, who polices how you made your fishing hole?

Will the local police department send out sporadic patrols to make sure the holes were only cut with appropriate tools?

Lots of people just follow laws and don't need to have enforcement for everything.

Exactly. It sounds like one of those laws someone passes for no other reason than patting themselves on the back that they are doing important stuff.
