1. Interpretations

The North Canterbury Fish and Game Region is divided into two zones:

Eastern Zone: The area to the east of a line extending from the white posts on the Rakaia River (near the Coleridge Power Station), to the white post at Woodstock on the Waimakariri River, to the Oxford-Glentui Road Bridge on the Ashley River, to the junction of the Hurunui River with the South Branch, to the junction of the Waiau and Hope Rivers; and excluding Lake Rubicon.

Western Zone: The area to the west of the eastern zone plus Lake Rubicon.

Fly fishing in the North Canterbury region means to fish for sports fish with fly rod and fly reel and fly line and artificial fly but with no additional weight to facilitate casting.
