Wanted to buy, fishing net with a looong pole. Suitable to catch ducks

Kim from Tai Tapu

I am looking to buy a fishing net with an extendable pole.

I have used one that an animal rescue from Wellington had which they said they got from a hunting and fishing store (presumably in welly) for around 80. It from memory extended out two or three times it’s contracted length, and the pole was about maybe 2.5 -3 or more metres (not including the net part)

It is needed to catch ducks on a river and the pole needs ot extend the net as far as possible. I already have nets with standard length poles of around one metre or so and am looking for something with significantly more reach

I have already visited a whole load of hunting and fishing stores and bunnings and various other places and not been able to find what I want. If anyone has one to sell or knows of somewhere that does have what I need, please text me on 020 406 41485
Thanks

From reporter Steven Walton:
What will Greater Christchurch look like when one million people live here? Where will the big roads be, where will all the housing be built?

These are the questions that fall to a committee of Canterbury mayors, Ngāi Tahu, and transport authorities. Now it is set to be bolstered, with Housing Minister Megan Woods and Local Government Minister Nanaia Mahuta getting a seat at the table.

The Government is teaming up with local authorities to plan what Greater Christchurch, the area covering Waimakariri, Christchurch City, and Selwyn, will look like in 30 years time.

Called Whakawhanake Kāinga (Urban Growth Partnership) Committee, it will be tasked with determining how the region can grow sustainably – ensuring that as the population increases, carbon emissions and house prices head the other way.

The first meeting will be on May 13. Continue reading here.
