Thread: Good bye trout..what a fricken joke!!

Stupidity knows no limits.

It's been an issue up here for a few years now and on our only decent trout fishery, Kai Iwi Lakes. Some amateurish research from a PhD student was taken to prove that trout reduce the number of galaxids. Fishing was going to be stopped (actually, I don't think they can do that), then the lakes weren't going to be restocked which is effectively the same thing, then it was back on with stocking, then we don't know again. I really wish we could get our shit together on indigenous vs. game fish/animals. As an aside, I have fished those lakes regularly for five years and not once I have seen anybody whitebaiting. So what is the issue?

To be fair those lakes are a closed system, so a balance does need to be monitored there

They going to wipe out all the game animals and fish? Be nothing left to do very shortly

Buerocracy gone mad. For fuck sake just leave shit alone, you can't unbreak an egg and you certainly can't unbeat the bugger. We are known the world over for our wonderful trout fishing and hunting. They generate the pursuit of outdoors activities that we are so fond of and which defines us as a nation and let's not forget tourism which adds to our GDP so why are we so hell bent on fucking it up in a vain and glorious attemp to save flora and fauna that 99 percent of kiwis wouldn't even know exist?

Because we have a radical greeny in power who thinks she can do as she pleases and bugger what anybody else thinks.

First the cows and anti cockies, then the tahr, now the fish....what next. Good to see they've opened the door for another 500 immigrants(non-natives).

Wasting all this money doing it. How about putting it into medical research and try to find a cure for cancer,bolstering the education,nursing....budgets. Something that actually benefits the whole country

Our countries going to shit

To return NZ to its original pristine state we need to get rid of the worst pest of all - Humans. I suggest we start with the politicians. No need for culling, they could simply be humanely exported somewhere else. Besides, there is no chance of creating an export meat market for them, because once you empty all the crap out of them there's nothing left.

Yeah, culling would be too kind. Take the entire collection of coalition extremists and place them on one of the Auckland Islands ..... then they can really enjoy their pristine socialist eutopia.
When I say place them .... that's too easy .... drop them off about 1km offshore and let them swim so they find out how natural selection really works.

Want to save the whitebait?
Make it illegal to sell it on. Everyman and his dog now has a huge pool of potential online sales via FB etc. , so the days of a few roadside stalls or selling to the locals is well and truly gone.

@Pengy

Not right to restrict people too much. Maybe just stipulate each whitebait has to be gutted at an approved facility before sale to the public, just like any other fish.

Disagree too many people raping and pillaging the streams and river mouths to make a quick buck.
