Freshwater anglers are eagerly anticipating the start of the new trout and salmon fishing season with Fish & Game's 2019-20 licences now on sale.
"Another great season of sports fishing is about to begin - don't miss out on the action," Fish & Game New Zealand Chief Executive, Martin Taylor says.
"The new fishing season begins in about six weeks on October 1 and early reports indicate there is some excellent fishing to be had this coming season.
"Buying a licence signals that winter is almost over, spring is coming, and our favourite little stream, lake or river will soon be open for fishing."
Ten different types of licence are on offer, including those catering for families, older anglers and people who want to try freshwater fishing for the first time.
