To determ'ine from this infonmation rivers wh'ich constitute fisheries of national, regional, and local ìmportance. 4. To obtain a data base for future work. Lake fisheries were deliberately excluded from the survey because it was considered impr"actìca1 to design a singìe questionnajre capable of coping adequately wìth the full range of lake and river fisheries. A questì onna'i re bookl et, conta'i ni ng a l i st of ri vens wi thi n a gi ven acclìmatisation district, was maìled to anglers in each society. Anglens wene asked to identify rivers which they had fished oven 3-5 years and to assess for each river its ìmportance to them (on a 1-5 scale) and the relative importance of seven listed quaìit'ies (dìstance from home, access, area of fishable waten, scenic beauty, feelìngs of peace and solitude, catch rate, and size of fish) ìn determ'ining why they fìshed that river. Information was also requested on average number of visits, stretch of water fished, fìshìng method used, and any associated recreational activity. 0f more than 10 700 angìers contacted, about 4000 completed their booklets, wh'ich provided over 20 500 individual assessments of more than 800 r'ivers and streams throughout the country. The present series of reponts uses these assessments to identify, in each acclimat'isation society distrìct, rivers which are regionally and locally'important. Nati onal 1y important ang'li ng ri vers have a1 r'eady been 'identi f ì ed by Teinney, Unwìn, Rowe, McDowal1, and Gnaynoth (1982), but ane also discussed in this series. Because of the sheer volume of data collected, and the amount of detajled'information contained w'ithin the data, a full analysis of every niver was not possible and fon some rivers only the naw data ane presented. Fisheries environmental report no. 75 (1985) PREFACE The rivers and streams of New Zealand, many of which support salmon on tnout fisheries, are the subject of frequent water management decisions. Some of these decisions result in s'ignificant alterations to exìsti ng f i sh habi tat, thereby reduci ng angì i ng opportun'iti es. Any case presented by fisheries interests to either the regional water board .ì o n the Nat'i onal Waten and So i Conservati on Author-ì ty (NWASCA) , ì n suppot't of a particular river, will obv'iously be str"engthened by the 'inclusion of jnformation about the angììng experience afforded by that riven. As hydro-electrìc, i rn'igation, and other niver developments place incneas'ing demands on the remaining freshwater resource, the need for" up to date infonmation on curnent angìing usage has become acute. Specifìcal1y, there is a need for companat'ive data about the nelative i mportance and hì ghly val ued aspects of the ang'l 'ing experi ence of fered by a part'icul an ri ver. Such 'informat'ion wi I I enabl e waten managers to take'into account the angling value of a niven in a regìonal or national context, rathen than in jsolation as tends to happen at present. In 1979, Fisheries Reseanch D'ivision (FRD) of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries (MAF), with the New Zealand accl'imatisation societies, began a postal survey of angìers in al'l acclìmatisation districts with significant sales of fishing I'icences. The survey had four major object'ives: 1. To col'lect, directly fr"om the adult angling population of New Zeal and, quantitati ve and companat j ve i nformati on on eveny r"'iver supportì ng a si gni fi cant sports fi shery. 2. To ident'ify those attributes which characterise nivens of ìmportance. Fisheries environmental report no. 75 (1985) 7 1. SUMMARY This report evaluates data collected durìng the National River Angling Survey for rivens'in the West Coast and Westland Accljmatjsation Society districts. In July 1980, survey questionnaines were mailed to 366 and 300 adult ho.lders of whole season l'icences for West Coast and trJestl and d'istricts respecti vely (f or the I979/80 f i shì ng season) . 0f the rivers in West Coast and Westland (Ì^lChI) wh'ich supported significant trout fì sheries, four were considered to be at least regì onal ly important on the basis of thein high overall importance grades, other valued attn'ibutes, and/or moderate to high levels of use. These were the Grey, Arnold, Ahaura, and Karamea Rivens. A further four rivers, lowen Bu1 ler, Hokit'ika, Arahura, and l,Jaitangìtaona, though not as heavi ly used, al so had hi gh 'importance grades and ht'ghly val ued attributes, and were ìdentified as rivers of local significance. None of l^lCW's trout river f isheries qualified conclusìve'ly for recognition as nationally important, though the Grey, Ahaura, and Karamea are cìea11y borderl'ine cases. Ovenaì.l, the most heaviìy fished catchment in l,JC[rl was that of the Grey River, which accounted for 48% of the total number of estimated v'isits made by the respondents to all rivers in the district.

  • PART ONE This Management Plan
    F I S H AND GAME NEW ZEALAND WEST COAST REGION SPORTS FISH AND GAME MANAGEMENT PLAN To manage, maintain and enhance the sports fish and game resource in the recreational interests of anglers and hunters AIRPORT DRIVE PO BOX 179 HOKITIKA 1 2 FOREWORD FROM THE CHAIRMAN I am pleased to present the Sportsfish and Game Management Plan for the West Coast Fish and Game Council. This plan has been prepared in line with the statutory responsibilities of Fish and Game West Coast following extensive consultation with a wide range of stakeholders. It identifies issues and establishes goals, objectives, and implementation methods for all output classes. While it provides an excellent snapshot-in-time of Fish and Game West Coast it should be noted that, as well as ongoing issues, there are likely to be further challenges in the future which will have the potential to impact on angler/hunter opportunities and satisfaction. To this extent, this plan must be seen as a document designed to be capable of addressing changing requirements by way of the annual workplan and in response to ongoing input from anglers and hunters, as well as other users of fish and game habitat. The West Coast Fish and Game Council welcomes such input.

Increase the existing McKays Creek Power Station capacity from This Assessment of Environmental Effects (‘AEE’) is submitted in support 6m3/s to a peak of 9m3/s (including the continued 1m3/s take from of TrustPower Limited‘s (‘TPL’) proposal to continue to operate and Blue Bottle Creek). maintain (with some process optimisation) the existing Hydro Electric Increase discharge to the Kaniere River from McKays Creek Power Power Scheme (‘HEPS’ or ‘scheme’) at Kaniere Forks and McKays Creek. Station from 6m3/s to 9m3/s. Re-consenting is necessary as the current authorisations for both the Kaniere Forks Power Scheme (‘Kaniere HEPS’) and the McKays Creek Kaniere HEPS enhancements Power Scheme (‘McKays HEPS’) expire on 26 May 2011. Increase water take from Lake Kaniere to the Kaniere race from 3 3 1m /s to a maximum of 8m /s. In addition to the re-consenting of the existing scheme (including the Upgrade existing race from Lake Kaniere to Ward Road to take 8m3/s process optimisations), TPL also proposes to construct enhancements to flow, largely through the construction of a new race. The majority of both the Kaniere and McKays HEPS. The enhancements are proposed on the new race will follow an alignment that utilises the existing the basis that the additional generation will provide for the more efficient transmission line route. The new race will also include two storage utilisation of infrastructure and investment of the existing HEPS, and areas.
