This is tlm first introduction of rainbow trout to five western fiords of Southland. I hope that the result of the liberations will be seen, and that this great sporting fish will be caught in Milford Sound.” said the president of the Southland Acclimatization Society, Mr. S. M. Macalister, when a report on the liberation was received at a meeting of the council. Members remarked that there were some brown trout in the fiords, and also in Lake McKerrow and the Hollyford and Pyke Rivers, but there had been no rainbow trout there.
