THE FISHING SEASON
FINE SPORT AT TAUPO POORER AT ROTORUA Smaller catches at the mouths of streams in the Rotorua district because of the movement of fish out into the lakes with the drop in temperatures is remarked upon by the conservator of fish and game, Mr. A. Kean, in, his report for the fortnight ending February 15. At Taupo fishing conditions were good. The Rotorua lakes were not greatly fished, there being few visiting anglers in the district. In the Bay of Plenty the rivers had been more or less discoloured, making fishing rather difficult. At Waikaremoana sport had again been quite good and some large catches had been taken. Reports from the southern end of Lake Taupo stated that there were few anglers there and that the Tongariro River was not greatly patronised. Fishing had been very good in Western Bay, little wind being experienced. The Waitahanui had been very well patronised and at times as many as 20 rods had been fishing at the same time. The condition of the trout, v/as excellent.
