Introduction

A triennial review of the Anglers Notice (fishing regulations) for the Otago Region has commenced. At their February meeting the Otago Fish and Game Council indicated they intend to make changes to the nine regulations outlined the table below. The Council is looking for feedback on the proposed changes.
Regulation
That the Glenorchy lagoons be open to fishing all year.
That the fishing season for Hore’s Control Pond be changed to November 1 to April 30 and that boat fishing be prohibited.
That the lower Greenstone River be open to fishing all year.
That the lower Manuherekia River be open to fishing all year.
That the restriction that prevents adult anglers from fishing Mill Creek above Waterfall Park be removed.
Simplify the regulations for the Clutha and Taieri rivers by rationalising the number of sections.
Clarify current rule regarding multiple hook prohibition in back country fisheries.
Simplify the region-wide boat fishing regulations.
All other matters raised by submitters are proposed to remain unchanged although the Council intend to seek further information on a number of them with a view to revisit them in future. Further details on submissions that will not be changed in this review are provided in the appendix of this report.
