FISHING RESTRICTIONS
REMOVAL URGED USE OF NATURAL BAIT (From Our Own Correspondent.) RAETIHI, To-day. Further consideration has been given by the Waimarino Acclimatisation Society to the question of using natural bait in trout fishing. The chairman (Mr. A. W. Ash well) pointed out that the streams of Raetihi district had a preponderance of brown trout in them, which prevented the society from establishing the rainbow trout in the manner it wished to do. It was considered that if the restrictions were removed as to bait-fishing they would be able to a certain degree to clear the streams and rivers in the district of the menace of the brown trout. It was not intended that all rivers should be included in the proposal, but to reserve the Whakapapa and the Piopiotea for fly-fishing only. The object was to have the bait restrictions removed for a period, after which they would revert back to fly-fishing in all the streams. As a result of the discussion which took place it was resolved to ask for the removal of restrictions in the Piopiotea and Whakapapa Rivers.
