A mother of two from Rolleston is questioning tough rules around freshwater fishing after experiencing what she views as heavy handed enforcement by Fish and Game.
Nikola Murphy was on the boat with her two young daughters on Lake Brunner. The kids had got fishing rods from their grandparents for Christmas and decided to give them a go.
When her 6-year-old had trouble casting the rod, Murphy helped her. Then, a ranger from West Coast Fish and Game appeared seemingly out of nowhere.
Although Murphy’s children had freshwater fishing licenses from Fish and Game, she didn’t, and so the ranger served her with an infringement notice.
