Several fishing parties have been out "bobbing'' lately. The other njght a tremendous splash was heard ill the Mangorei. Reports spread like ligntning that it was a monster rainbow trout, but on . investigation it proved to be a two-legged fish cf the pike tribe, s. meiimes called "Jack.'' Co ds on their chests were caught by tome of the bobber-, but even afwt allowing 50 per cent off fishermen's yarns some really good hauls have been made, and there is no doubt that the rivers are well stocked and some experts fishers about. Talking of fish, it is rumored that a land shark has been seen tacking round and a report (fa se, I I expect) got about he had Ui.n landed.
