FISHING AT TOKAANU.
SPLENDID BAGS REPORTED, ALL TAKEN ON THE FLY. [BY TELEGBArH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.] WHAKATANE. Tuesday. Splendid sport is being obtained at Tokaanu, where the trout are plentiful and in excellent condition. Mr. J. McCnlloch, of Whakatane, has returned after a week's fishing at Tokaanu, where he experienced excellent sport. During his holiday he caught 62 trout, all on the fly, the average weight being 81b. 9oz. The largest fish was 15ilb. and the smallest 51b. An idea as to how plentiful the trout are at Tokaanu can be gleaned from the fact that Mr. J. S. W. Neilson, of East Cape, who has just completed a month's visit to Tokaanu, averaged ten fish a day on the fly during his visit.
