Anglers flock to
high country lakes
Anglers flocked to the
Canterbury back country
in their hundreds as fine
weather heralded the
opening day of the high
country fishing season.
Conditions on the
lakes were beautiful with
warm fine weather providing
the perfect opportunity
for families to
spend the day fishing.
Such is the prestige
held by anglers for the
Canterbury high country
as a fishing destination
that anglers camefrom as
far away as Southland
and Auckland.
Some northern hemisphereanglers
also timed
their trip to New Zealand
to coincide with opening
weekend.
Over ahundred boats
were on Lake Coleridge
but shore­based anglers
were out in force and
both were reeling in the
fish.
Fish & Game delays
the opening ofthe high
country areas to fishing
for amonth so that late
spawning rainbow trout
have the opportunity to
spawn without being
disturbed.
On Saturday afternoon,
hundreds
converged onRyton Bay
for the prize giving of the
annual Lake Coleridge
Fishing Competition.
Therewas 265 entrants
competing for thousands
of dollars of prizes donated
by Hunting &Fishing
Tower Junction.
While there were
prizes for fish caught,
there were many more
spot prizes for entrants
of all age groups.
Fish &Game uses the
data gathered from the
fish caught to assess the
health of the fish population
in the lakes.
The lakes themselves
looked in good condition
with lake levels higher
than last year’s opening
following a good spring
snow melt.
Fish weighed in for the
competition looked
healthy and some fish
weredestined straight for
the barbecue after they
were measured.
Fish &Game Rangers
were out in force checking
that anglers were
licensed and following
the rules.
Apart from acouple of
anglers that had left their
licence at home, no
issues were detected.
The number of anglers
checked on lakes was up
compared to last year,
with some lakes having a
third more anglers on
them compared to last
year.
The Canterbury high
country lakesare so close
to Christchurch and easily
accessible bycar that
theyare aperfect spot for
aday trip.

Geraldine drop in session
on use of logburners
From 1 January 2020,
older style wood burners
can nolonger beused in
Geraldine clean air
zones, on properties
smaller than two hectares.
Older style burners
can be replaced with a
low or ultra­low emission
burner, and those
can be used with no
expiry date.
A drop in session is
scheduled atGeraldine
Library tomorrow
(November 8) from
12.30pm until 4.30pm
for residents to find out
moreabout the requirements,
subsidies and
other help available.
Drop­in sessions
were previously held at
the end of August in
both Geraldine and
Waimate, which is also
affected by the rule
change.
Environment Canterbury
(ECan) senior air
quality implementation
officer Mark Bourassa
said he was pleased
with how many people
from both communities
stopped by to havetheir
questions answered in
August.
‘‘We were able to provide
answers to many
questions from the communities
regarding
replacement log burners,
heat pumps, subsidies,
and Healthier Homes
Canterbury,’’ he said.
‘‘We’ve been carrying
out follow up visits to
people’s households
where needed, to help
them determine what
type of log burner is
currently in place, and
what action, ifany, they
need to take before the
deadline.
‘‘In one instance, we
were able to confirm for a
customer that they are
already using a lowemission
wood burner
and therefore don’t need
to take any action before
the 1January 2020 deadline.’’
Some people are eligible
for financial assistance
and subsidies for
new log burners and
advice on thatarea willbe
offered.
