Felt soled boots banned from October

[dizzy]

Hey all,

If you are planning a trip to New Zealand at any stage, please take not of the following:

"The Minister of Conservation agreed in principle last week with a Fish & Game New Zealand submission to ban the use of felt soled wading boots for freshwater fishing. The ban, yet to be approved and included in the proposed 2008/09 Anglers Notice for Fish and Game Regions, will be effective from 1 October 2008, and applies to freshwater sports fishing anglers in all New Zealand waterways, except those within the Taupo Fishery"

I wonder if the same approach can help SA with the spread of rock snot / old mans beard?

Aqua Stealth boots are still allowed.
Btw, I have a pair Simms Freestones with probably 40 or 50 hours on them, so they are still new. If you're interested, email me daryl@theflyfisher.co.za, I'll take R500, but you will need to pay the shipping on them. They are size 8, and will fit if you normally wear a size 8 shoe.
