Visitors to Lake Tomarata are being warned not to swim or go boating there this week while Auckland Council carries out pest fish removal.
Gill nets that can’t be seen on the water’s surface will be set across the lake bed to trap tench and rudd from Monday, April 15 to Friday, April 19.
Council is also advising dog owners not to let their pets swim in the lake during the week, in case they get tangled in the nets.
The reserve will remain open, however, and council signage and staff will be present to get the message across. The nets will be removed by next weekend, April 20 and 21
