WORST SEASON EVER.

FISHING AT LAKE TAUPO. (From Our Correspondent.) TAUPO, Thursday. The fi«liing season, which closed at II o'clock la~l niolit. must lie classed as the must di-a ppuint injr experienced in Taupo. The W as coiisistently hard. the lir-li scarce, and their condition 011 the whole poor. There was ala roe number of anglers at Taupo for the last few days, but all reported poor results. The loiio- dry spell wan largely responsible for the poor season, and it is believed that, there are plenty of fish in the lake, but they are si 111 in the deep water. Certainly there has been no run of any dimensions. Around the eastern shores of the lake as far a< Tauranjja-Taupo few and mostly poor li>b have been taken. The same applies to till . Western Hay and the Waikilto Hover from Fulljatnes (amp up. Fortunately, there have been few overseas anglers here this season. One complaint which was continually Immiij; heard was that < oiicerninj; the overgrown state j>f the access tracks to the various INhiii": spots on both the lake shores and the banks of the rivers. This resulted ill overcrowdin<r at a few pools, while a. larjre number of even better fishing pools were inaccessahle.
