Year-round fishing
Greymouth reporter Trout fishermen in the Westland Acclimatisation Society’s district, south of the Taramakau River, may now fish for 12 months of the year, the Ministry of Fisheries permitting the opening of the lower reaches of some rivers during the .winter. Those rivers which will be open from now until the end of August are the Big Wa-
nganui, Big Waitaha, Cook, Fox, Karangarua, Waiho, Whataroa, and the Hokitika. Only the sections below the main highway bridges on State highway 6 are open, the upper reaches being excluded to protect spawning trout. Earlier, sections of rivers in the West Coast Acclimatisation Society’s district to the north were allowed to be fished for a similar time.
