Three Set Nets For Catching Whitebait
‘'Umawrul, Unrair'’’ “It is unlawful and most unsporting,' an indignant Wiuiganui East resident asserted, when he inrormed the "Chronicle' last night that someone was using set nets to eaten wnitebait in Aixon's Creek. Although the identity of the offender was known, efforts to locate the district ranger and acquaint him with the breach had been unsuccessful. Three set nets were employed yesterday in the creek, in the vicinity of White Street, it was stated. They were cunningly placed to catch all whitebait moving upstfeam, and this precluded everyone above that spot from catching any. The whitebait are not running very freely, and the owner of the set net'i was evidently reluctant to enter the hunt on a sporting basis, stated the man who complained.
