Selwyn Times Wednesday September 21 2022 22 NEWS Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Signs unlock fishing spots for season MORE THAN 100 new angler access signs have gone up around the North Canterbury Fish and Game region, which covers the Selwyn District, in preparation for the opening of the fishing season next month. The angler access signs unlock a vast area of fishing spots for people with a fishing licence. The signs will largely replace the worn out, dilapidated signs but several are for new access points. North Canterbury Fish and Game has worked with landowners to secure access to these spots for anglers. The access points will also be open to other river users. There are more than 400 angler access and information signs in the region, all the way from the Southern Alps to the river mouths on the coast. Replacing these signs has enabled Fish and Game staff to also see how good the rivers are looking for the opening of the new season. The lowland Selwyn River is looking in great shape. Continual strong river flows, combined with Te Waihora/ Lake Ellesmere having several periods where it has met the sea, has made it possible for sea run trout to enter the system in good numbers. The waterways up in the Hurunui high country were OPENING: North Canterbury Fish and Game officer Harry Graham-Samson erects a new angler access sign at the Lower Selwyn Huts, with Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere in the background. also in excellent condition and all had good flows when staff visited during the recent cold snap to place new signs in the area. The wet winter has also meant plenty of water to help sea run salmon return to the spawning streams. The new signs will help salmon anglers access fishing spots when they go fishing with the new $5 sea-run salmon harvest card required for sea run salmon fishing. Said North Canterbury Fish and Game chief executive Rasmus Gabrielsson (right): “Canterbury anglers have access to some world-class fisheries in the region. We want to help anglers of all ages and skill levels access these fantastic fisheries hence why we have put in this work over the winter months to improve access for anglers. “Anglers’ licence fees pay for these signs, and many anglers don’t realise where their licence fees go. But whenever they see an angler access sign and access a river or lake, they can see some tangible results from purchasing a fishing licence.” Ensuring Safer Water – Chlorination Upgrades 2022 Your savings all add up with SuperGold New Zealand’s drinking water laws have changed.
