He was left red-faced at the Take A Kid Fishing Day when his five-year-old son Riley managed to catch a rainbow trout on his first outing. Mr McCallum, from Rolleston, said he had been salmon fishing about a dozen times over the past year at Lake Coleridge, the Rakaia River and the fishing canals in Twizel without any luck. “I was debating whether I was doing something wrong because other people were having luck, and I wasn’t.” •Turn to page 4 HOOKED: Rolleston’s Riley McCallum, 5, and his father Matthew, with Riley’s rainbow trout caught at the Take a Kid Fishing day. 0800 726 724 www.scorch.co.nz Children, drones, animals in parks review • By Ashleigh Monk RESTRICTIONS ON animals, supervision for children under 10 and the use of drones will be considered for the district’s parks and reserves. The district council has reviewed the Parks and Reserves Bylaw and released a draft plan for residents to submit their thoughts. Councillor Craig Watson said with the growing popularity of drones, their use needed to be monitored. “They’re more prevalent and accessible than they used to be,” he said. “Nowadays there’s obviously issues with flight paths, personal safety and privacy. We’ve looked at Ashburton and Christchurch to try and keep some consistency. We just want to make sure droneusers consistently do the same thing no matter which district they’re in.” He said the bylaw would also look at requiring supervision for children under 10. •Turn to page 4 We’re evolving...
