A survey of the country along Taranaki rivers after the flood revealed that hundreds of trout had been left stranded as the waters receded, while large numbers had also been found in still waters on paddocks which had been inundated. A large number of these fish had been caught and put back into the streams. On the other hand, some persons had been seen out with pitchforks spearing fish and returning home with large catches. This information was conveyed in a report submitted to the council of the Taranaki Acclimatisation Society at a meeting last week.
