Hi all,
I have just finished reading this article and have seen many other discusions about this issue and how to clean your equipment after fishing. There has been very little mention of what happens when you bring equipment into NZ. There was one mention in this article saying that you have to have a certificate stating that you have had your equipment decontaminated by a veterinarian. This is the first time I heard of that. Does anyone know anything more about bringing fishing equipment into NZ. All of the equipment that I am planning to bring in, except my real, I just bought new for the trip. That is rubber-soled waders, rod and line. I am not bringing in flies or any other gear.
Thank you for any clarification you can give on this issue.
Ron

Heidi,
Thank you for getting back to me. I had read that NZ Fishing info a while back. This article in this topic through me off when it said you needed a certificate. I guess I just have to hope that they don't decide to take anything for cleaning. We will be flying to ChCh a few hours after arriving in Auckland and won't be back until the end of our 3 week trip. I hope, if I bring my receipts for buying the new stuff, it will help. It is very helpful to know that people usually don't have trouble.
Thank you very much for so kindly getting back to me.
Ron
