Don’t go fishing in Lake Rotorua without checking your obligations under the Te Arawa Lakes (Fisheries) Regulations 2006.
The Crown introduced those regulations, as part of the Te Arawa Lakes Settlement Act 2006, to empower the Trustees of the Te Arawa Lakes Trust to manage the customary and recreational food gathering of included species in the Te Arawa Lakes.
Getting offside with the trust by breaching the regulations could be costly.
