FLY FISHING AND TROLLING
The Rotorua Rod and Gun club has recently taken up with the Department of Internal Affairs, a question wh'ch has a bearing upon the very controversial matters wh'ch hinge arou id the respective rights of fly fisherrr-m and trolling parties. The question in which the club has been interestmg itself is the extent of the fly fislv'.jg area which at present extends cr:>?r the wharf at Rotoiti to Ilnupara. a distance of anproximately three mil 'o. Originally this area was gazetted as extending from the wharf to Tap^aearuaru a considerably shorter d'sta've than at present, but alterations ira de in the regulations this year, the ar?a was extended. Representations hrre been made by the club to the Depo 'tment suggesting that the present a"'°a is too extensive and is preventing trolling parties from fishing waters wh'ch are usless for fly fishing pvr. poses. The greater proportion of the present restricted area is under a c'iff and the water is too deep for wadng The club has suggested to the Department that a more suitable restricted area would be from Gisborne Po'nt to the wharf, a distance of apprcximately half a mile. It is understood however, that the Department has declined to take any action in amend'ng the existing regulations.
