SHAGS AND TROUT
DEPREDATIONS AT TAUPO.
(BY TELEGRAPH.— SPECIAL TO THE POST.)
. AUCKLAND, This Day. Ihe steady increase in numbers of shags at Lake Taupo merits the attention of those interested in trout-fishing there. Some years ago a certain sum was paid for each shag killed, and this had the result of greatly reducing their numbers, but they have again increased to a point when something should be done without delay to combat their depredations on the small fish. Where shags could be seen in two's and three's four years ago they can bo counted to-day in dozens. A. mob of nearly 200 was counted on a rocky spit near the wharf at Taupo on a. recent morning. The putting of a price again on their heads deserves serious consideration.
