Consultation Survey: Proposed Designated Waters Licence for Fishing on the Mataura and Waikaia Rivers
The Southland Fish & Game Council is considering the implementation of a Designated Waters Licence requirement for fishing on the mid and upper Mataura River and the Waikaia River. If the Southland Fish & Game Council decides to proceed with this requirement, the costs for both resident and non-resident Designated Water Licences are expected to remain unchanged. Currently, the fee for a resident full-season Designated Waters Licence is $5.00, while a non-resident Designated Waters day licence is $40.00. Additionally, the number of non-resident Designated Water Licences an angler could purchase in Southland would be restricted to five per season, consistent with current regulations.
1.) Are you a resident or non-resident angler?

ResidentNon-resident
2.) Are you a fishing guide?

Next season, the Southland Fish & Game Council is considering implementing a Designated Waters Licence requirement for the Mataura River and tributaries upstream of either the Waikaia confluence, or the Ardlussa Bridge.
3.) Regarding the mid/upper Mataura River, which statement best represents your views?

I do not support the use of the Designated Waters (DW) licence on the mid/upper Mataura.I support the use of the DW licence on the mid/upper Mataura during periods of peak usage only.I support the use of the DW licence on the mid/upper Mataura for the entire season.
Please provide reasoning if you would like to
