TAUPO FISHING.

TROUT PLENTIFUL Stratford Angler’s Experience Splendid weather and a plentitude of fish are reported by Sergt. C. M. Annis, who returned to Stratford last night after a week’s fishing at Taupo. In the part of the lake from Rangitara Point to Jerusalem Point, Sergt. Annis told a Press representative this morning, fish were about in large numbers. He himself had been able to catch his full quota of twelve fish per daly as had most of the others fishing. The fish, however, were not all in the best of condition, and good specimens were only close to shore at certain times. Fishing off-a launch he had found that when once the right lure was on the line the fish were taking well. His best fish was a 62 pound specimen. There were numbers of five and six pound fish in the water but an absence of really big ones, accounted for by the fact that the spawning season was still too recent.
