Trout Stranded In Pools The sudden closing of the central control gates in the Taupo dam on the Waikato River from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily during the recent period of heavy rain has caused havoc among trout and their feed. Numerous trout have been found on recent mornings in the shallow pools on the banks of the river. In most cases these fish, which would average 31b., would not survive until the water reached them again in the afternoon. Koura, a favourite food of the trout, arc also stranded in large numbers, and three youths secured in half an hour half a sugar bag full.
