It might be useful to reinforce that the Designated Water Licence endorsement costs for New Zealand Resident Anglers is simply a nominal annual fee for each selected region with DW that you choose to fish, in addition to your Resident Full Season Fishing Licence. Whereas Non-Resident Anglers are limited to a capped few fishing days per region per season and pay per diem on top of their Non-Resident Full Season Fishing Licence. This lop-sided arrangement is supposed to serve as a lever to balance the non-resident/resident access to rivers and their tributaries named as Designated Waters. I guess the review called for by the Minister will report on whether it's working in this capacity or not.
