NOR’WEST NEWS Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday May 1 2018 3 News Later date looms for fishing event • By Sophie Cornish THE ANNUAL Take a Kid Fishing event at the Groynes lakes may be saved. However, the October event could be pushed back into late November or December this year. There were fears the event could be cancelled due to rapid growth of the lagarosiphon weed. City council regional parks manager Kay Holder has recommended two options involving David Denton chemical control to the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board, to minimise the problem. “The reasons for the rapid growth are not well understood but the warm summer and high nutrient flow into the lakes could be the cause . . . at this stage it is proposed that further on-going chemical control of the lake weed will be the most effective method for management,” said Ms Holder. The work, costing $15,000, would go ahead this upcoming spring/summer season and Hon Nicky Wagner National List MP Come and visit us at our new office at 922 Colombo Street A E P W 922 Colombo Street Central Christchurch PO Box 21359 Christchurch 8143 chch.office@parliament.govt.nz 03 365 8297 nickywagner.co.nz Funded by the Parliamentary Service and authorised by Nicky Wagner, 922 Colombo Street, Christchurch. fishing cannot take place for six weeks afterwards. Event organiser David Denton said the event can work with the new dates, if a commitment is made by city council to control the weed. The Take A Kid Fishing event has been held at the Groynes annually since 1988. About five to six thousand people attend it each year. Previously the Isaac Conservation and Wildlife Trust has donated 800 salmon which are released into the lake. Volunteers show the children how to catch a salmon, clean it and prepare it for cooking. It is unclear how effective the chemical control could be. “There will still be some uncertainly on the effectiveness of the control as it depends on unknown environmental conditions, if the weed regrows in WEED PROBLEM: Last year Freya Askew caught a 4kg salmon during the Take a Kid Fishing day at The Groynes. The event may be put back several weeks as the city council looks at chemical control to tackle the weed issue in the lakes.

The large quantity of weed means that if pulled out, it will regrow and potentially spread. “There are concerns that mechanical methods may produce loose stem that could move to other water bodies and spread the weed problem,” said Ms Holder.
