His Excellency the Governor in Council.

IN pursuance of the powers and authorities vested in him by “The Fisheries Conservation Act, 1884,” His Excellency the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said colony, doth hereby make the following regulations for the Hawke’s Bay Acclimatisation District, and the waters thereof; and doth hereby declare that these regulations shall, as from the date of the publication thereof in the New Zealand Gazette, supersede all regulations at variance therewith.

REGULATIONS.

1. Licenses to fish for trout and perch in all waters within that district or part of the North Island known as the Hawke’s Bay Acclimatisation District, comprising the Counties of Waipawa and Patangata, Hawke’s Bay and Wairoa, may be issued under the hand of the Secretary of the Hawke’s Bay Acclimatisation Society (hereinafter termed “the said society”), or any one authorised by the said Secretary in that behalf: Provided that it shall not be obligatory on the said Secretary or his deputy to issue a license.

2. For every such license a fee of twenty shillings will be charged. Licenses may also be issued to boys of the age of sixteen years or under at a reduced fee of ten shillings for each license so issued; but no license shall confer any right of entry upon the land of any person without his consent.

3. The Secretary of the said society may issue day licenses to bonâ fide travellers and strangers not resident within the district aforesaid, on their introduction to him by any two members of the said society, and on payment of a fee of two shillings and sixpence for each day’s fishing: Provided that this payment may be remitted if the applicant be a member of or hold a valid license from any other society in New Zealand which grants the like privilege.

4. Any holder of a license may fish with one rod and line for trout and perch, and may use a landing-net or gaff to secure any trout or perch caught with such rod and line, in the above-named waters, from the first day of October in any year to the third day of April in any year, both inclusive; but every such license shall be for one season only, and shall expire on the third day of April following the date on which it is issued.

5. No license shall authorise any person other than the person named therein to fish, and that with natural or artificial fly, insect, or fish only.

6. No person shall have in his possession any of the salmonidæ or trout between the twelfth day of April and the thirtieth day of September, which period is hereby appointed a close season for all such fish: Provided always that this regulation shall not apply to fish caught by the officers of the said society for purposes of acclimatisation.

7. No person shall put, throw, or place, or allow to be put, thrown, or placed, into any river or stream, or at the mouth or entrance of any such river or stream, any dynamite or other explosive substance, or any sawdust or sawmill refuse, or anything of any kind or description whatever poisonous, deleterious, or noxious to fish.

8. No person shall take, fish for, catch or kill, in any manner whatever, or have in his possession, any salmon, salmon-parr, or smolts, or the ova, young, or fry of any salmon in any stage whatever; and any of the above-named taken by accident or otherwise shall immediately be returned to the water from whence it was taken.

9. No person shall fish for trout or perch without a license, and every person fishing shall, on demand of any ranger, constable, member of the said society, or person producing a license, produce and show to such ranger, member, constable, or person his license and the contents of his creel or bag, and the bait used by him for taking, catching, or killing such trout or perch.

10. Every trout not exceeding nine inches in length from nose to tip of tail, taken or caught by any person, shall immediately be returned alive into the water from which the same is taken.

11. No person shall take, catch, or kill any perch under eight inches in length, nor shall perch be taken, caught, or killed at all, or had in possession of any person, between the fourth day of April and the thirtieth day of November in any year.

12. No cross-line fishing, stroke-hauling, or any other unsportsmanlike device shall be used for the purpose of taking, catching, or killing trout or perch, nor shall any of the above-mentioned baits be used with any medicated or chemical preparation whatever.

13. Except as aforesaid, no person shall fish with or use any net or other engine, instrument, or device for taking salmon, or trout, or perch in any river or stream within the district aforesaid, or at the mouth or entrance of any such river or stream.

14. For the purposes of these regulations the mouth of every such river or stream shall be deemed to include every outlet of the same and the sea-shore between such outlets, and shall extend over a radius of one-quarter of a mile from the point or line where the waters of such river or stream meet those of the sea or of any harbour at low-water.

15. No person shall buy, sell, or expose or offer for sale, or shall fish for the purpose of obtaining for sale, any salmon, trout, or perch, or any part thereof.

16. The penalty for the breach of any of these regulations shall not be less than forty shillings or more than fifty pounds.

17. If any person shall be convicted of any offence against these regulations the license (if any) held by the offender shall thereupon become void.
