As well as a Backcountry Licence, a Controlled Fishery
Licence is required to fish:
- on the Upper Greenstone River in Otago
- during the period between 1st February and
31 March each year.
Angling opportunity is limited during this time
so that anglers can have a reach of the river or ‘beat’
to themselves for a one or two day period. The aim of this restriction
is to preserve the quality of angling experience by limiting angler
density.
Obtaining a Controlled Fishery Licence
Anglers must hold a Backcountry Licence in order
to apply for a Controlled Fishery Licence.
You must have licence details ready (whole season
licence number and backcountry licence number) when making your
booking. Booking periods are only available between five days in
advance and the same day.
Controlled Fishery Licences are obtainable through
an online booking system which operates five days in advance. Go

Note: Bookings for
the 2008 season are not open unitl December 2007.
