ANGLERS WILL BE PLEASED.
jjLY TELEGBJIPH — SPECIAL TO THE TOST.} AUCKLAND, This Day. Fishing enthusiasts will be pleased to hear of a little incident that occurred recently in the Waikato, about four miles below Taukau. The Maoris resident thereabouts are in tne habit of netting certain small %h in the river, and for some time they had been puzzled by taking, among the others, some fish they could not identify, and the wholesomeness of which they are said to have suspected. A few days ago some of them appealed to a- passerby to tell them what the fish were. The man was one of the Acciimiiisation Society's rangers, and he immediately threw the fish back into the water. They were healthy young rainbow trout, from 6in to Bin in length, and the ranger has reported that they are remarkably plentiful the Waikato River. Three or four years ago the rainbow trout were all cleared out of the river by the big flood. Since then, several introductions of fry have been effected, and the success of the restocking is viewed with great pleasure ,by those anglers who know of it.
