bet they're feeding the trout avocados down there, typical Rotorua waste of rates

what a load of shit, they're doing conservation work not decorating a cafe

another hatchery? great, more fish for tourists to catch and leave on the bank to rot. seen it a hundred times

here we go, another keyboard warrior who's never left their couch

Quinn Murphy2026-07-10T22:27:00.000Z

mate you've clearly never fished here - the fisheries are world-class. But go off

Chloe Martin2026-07-10T21:57:00.000Z

has anyone actually seen these fisheries making a difference? all i see is the lake levels dropping and algae blooms

ffs we're spending money on fish while kids can't afford school lunches. priorities 🙄

Ben Sullivan2026-07-10T22:35:00.000Z

maybe if you did some research instead of whining you'd see they run education programmes too

Phoenix Reid2026-07-10T22:54:00.000Z

actually this is great for conservation, the native bush around there is beautiful. well done team

Morgan Lee2026-07-10T23:15:00.000Z

I remember going there as a kid, it's a cool spot. glad it's still doing its thing

Quinn Murphy2026-07-10T23:34:00.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed, fish & game are just a front for the it-sportsmen anyway

Zoe King2026-07-11T00:11:00.000Z

load of nonsense. it's the same old conservation theatre while the real polluters get a free pass

Mason Young2026-07-10T23:44:00.000Z

been waiting for an article like this. protect our waterways from the dairy run-off first, then talk about fish

Chloe Martin2026-07-10T23:56:00.000Z

dairy run-off is a separate issue but yeah i agree we need both. getting agro won't help

Zoe King2026-07-11T00:07:00.000Z

exactly, it's always the same story
