The freshwater fishing season begins on October 1, and new licences are now on sale. Fish & Game NZ chief executive Corina Jordan says around 100,000 anglers are expected to go freshwater fishing throughout the country. She says new Designated Waters Licence will see Kiwi anglers get a fairer share on some of the waterways that Fish & Game’s research has shown are subject to too much pressure. The new licence category will spread angling around so that it isn’t concentrated in certain area after complaints of overcrowding in a small number of fisheries between resident and non-resident anglers which will now be managed through the Designated Waters Licence.
