That trout poachers are at work on some of our streams is shown by deposits of used carbide to bo found amongst the stones al the sides of tha rivers (says the "Taranaki News”). In some localities explosives have also been used, killing not only the larger fish, but numbers of young trout that would stock the waters for future angling. Many farmers upon whose properties trout streams are situated deplore the poaching, and are keeping a look out for offenders. Acclimatisation societies in Taranaki each year liberate large quantities of young trout in the rivers, and to have their work to a groat extent. nullified by the poacher is most disheartening.
