Had a great day fishing at Kai Iwi Lakes, landing three fat healthy trout. In their wisdom, Kaipara District Council have refused to allow Fish & Game to continue stocking the lakes. Since the trout cannot breed in this location, this is the end of trout fishing in the lakes and that effectively means the end of trout fishing in the whole of Northland. Trout have co-existed with indigenous species since they were first stocked in 1968, so I cannot understand the logic behind this decision.

Same as the Govt mandating that the new FnG Councils have iwi representation. More fee grabbing.You voted Labour so dont complain.
Very much so. I'm not a mad keen freshwater angler, but have enjoyed visiting the lakes over many years.
That's about the size of it. I wasn't going to bring it up because a) it's a done deal, b) can't be bothered with anymore pointless forum arguments and c) the Kaipara District Council are the elected representatives. If they want to give their mandate away to an unelected body, then that's on them.
I didn't vote Labour. Never have and never will, but you're right in a sense, there is no point complaining.
EDIT: Never say never. If at some point I embark on a career of crime, dole-bludging and drug taking, I will definitely be voting Labour.
With that haul, I'm not surprised.
A scruffy little brown caught on savage softbait.
