LOSSES AMONG TROUT
RIVER TEMPERATURES HEAT AFFECTING FISH BAY OF PLENTY WATERS [by TELEGRAPH —OWN correspondent] WHAKATANE, Monday With the temperatures in some of the streams as high as 77 or 78 degrees, there have been losses of trout in Bay of Plenty rivers. Several fine fish in splendid condition have been, found dead, and it is expected that many more dead fish will be picked up as long as the hot weather continues. The rivers principally affected are the Waimana, Waioeka and Whakatane. The Ilangataiki, owing to its length and depth, is not so hot, and the Tarawera, which is lake fed, is also cooler. Fishing is very difficult at present and will continue so until rain cools the water.
