  • That the fishing season for Hore’s Control Pond be changed to November 1 to April 30 and that boat fishing be prohibited.  

  • That the lower Greenstone River be open to fishing all year.  

  • That the lower Manuherekia River be open to fishing all year.  

  • That the restriction that prevents adult anglers from fishing Mill Creek above Waterfall Park be removed.  

  • Simplify the regulations for the Clutha and Taieri rivers by rationalising the number of sections.  

  • Clarify the current rule regarding multiple hook prohibition in back country fisheries.  

  • Simplify the region-wide boat fishing regulations.
