It’s almost time! The opening of the trout fishing season is just around the corner, and our very own Te Arawa Lakes Trust Biosecurity Officers will be stationed at boat ramps bright and early to ensure a fantastic start for all anglers.
Help protect our waterways! Remember, it’s vital to Clean, Check, Dry all your gear to prevent the spread of invasive freshwater pests like the gold clam. Every time you move between waterways, take the time to check, clean, and dry any equipment that has come into contact with water.
Don’t forget to Self-Certify! Before launching, you must submit your self-certification form electronically or display it in your vehicle. This certifies that your vessel or craft is safe and pest-free.
Let’s all do our part to keep our lakes beautiful and thriving.
