Angry anglers are challenging their leader for not fronting up to concerns

The Canterbury Regional Fish and Game Council met last night, where members wanted to talk about whether a 500-thousand dollar bequest was spent appropriately.

Salmon angler Neil Watts says council chair Trevor Isitt used the ongoing investigation to shut down any discussion.

He says it might be time for new leadership.

Watts says a new leader could create unity, and steer the group in the right direction.
