The Ministry for Primary Industries rules are in place for recreational activities like fishing, to minimise harm to New Zealands natural resources and primary industries.
Everyone who fishes recreationally in New Zealand has a legal requirement to follow the recreational fishing rules. The rules change regularly so check the rules for your fishing area every time you head out fishing.
