NZ Fishing Rules

Get recreational fish species information on the go with the NZ Fishing Rules App. The application helps you to identify recreational fish species common in your area through images, then displays relevant information such as the minimum legal size, maximum daily limits and area bag limits. Short videos embedded within the application show how to release undersize fish correctly and also how to measure/determine the sex of crayfish. Local notices will give you updates on any temporary closures in the area.

Would be great if the App could be made to work offline, many harvesting spots are out of good coverage areas and makes checking your limits difficult or impossible. Please look into this. Also struggles to get past the disclaimer page on a regular basis.

Excellent info, regular updates. Missing many illustrations of species and has done so for many yrs now. Identification is basic information to apply the purpose of the app. Major fail

Yeah for the information i need use when we go fishing and getting the right size for fish we get and daily amount

Read the news this morning to find the crayfish rules changed on the 9th May 2020 to reflect daily limit for rec now 3 and the tails I think need to be trimmed some how in cray east coast north island. According to my ap it updated today but it still shows the old regs. WHY A STEAM DRIVEN SYSTEM ??? One can get into serious trouble for fishing outside the limits so it appears every time one goes to sea one must ring some govt dept to reconfirm ALL the rules. Not practical or logical.

Loads and then closes itself. Android

Used to work ok, now all the media (photos, videos) is not available despite granting access to storage.

Seems like an excellent app. Does all it needs to do, simple and intuitive.

Down loaded to my Huawai ALE-L02 smart phone running Android 5.01 . When opening the app I only get the Legal Disclaimer. Ah....... the Chinese Government have control of my phone or is it that MPI have taken short cuts in designing an APP that simply does not work!

Developer needs to fix the text in the app. "Size limit" is incorrect, it must read minimum size.

Les. &. H. Apr 28, 2020     

Won't work. Downloaded fine but won't open. Says may not be optomised for device. Seems it is not.

Garbage poor design poor functionality extremely limited features very basic, this app is a joke! Also found it inaccurate for catch limits in my area

great app very helpful and informative. would love to see future updates to include freshwater also

Vin. G. Mar 15, 2019     

Really not good. I can't even select where I am. UI is pretty awful, too.

Why don't you call yourself SEA fishing rules?? Not a single word about river or lake fishing. No tench in the database and only Sea Perch, not normal Perch like the ones caught in lakes and rivers. Didn't see anything freshwater at all although there maybe trout but I don't want to fly fish either. Looks like nobody in NZ has heard of COARSE fishing like we do in Europe. Please be more specific with your description of yourself in future so as to avoid wasting people's time!

This is a great app. Throw in tides and weather and it's a 1 stop shop
