Thread: Fish and Game Warning

Following a motor vehicle accident in the Hundalee Hills (Nelson/Marlborough and North Canterbury Fish & Game regions boundary) on July 16 2014, anglers are advised to avoid angling in the Conway River until further notice. This is due to engine degreaser leaching into the waterway. We will keep you informed as more information is received.

Mmm been watching the news for both! It's a bugger one of those things you can't do about wrecking up the environment, like that spill in the Maitai river which killed all the fish last year. Ruining good water :/

Hope they find him soon enough. My brother was in the army, and two of his mates went off a cliff in a unimog. They didn't find one of the bodies. Really tragic
