A ROTORUA FISH STORY.
An Invercargill citizen, who spent the Christmas holidays up at Rotorua, has returned with a story that seems to have captivated his hearers. During his rambles with rod and line, he came across a trout-laden stream, containing several email boiling springs, situated close in to the banks. This suggested a very simple way of obtaining the mid-dav meal. When the trout were hooked all lie had to do was to work them with the rod up to one of the hot springs, where a few minutes sufficed to boil them to a turn, when they were gently hauled in and lifted out, steaming hot, on a dish. The narrator says he put in one of the jolliest picnic* of his life on the banks of that riverhe only had to cany bread and a little pepper and salt, and he was never worried about getting to his hotel in time for dinner.
