the time of granting the same until the termination of
the then trout-fishing season. No license shall confer any
right of entry upon the land of any person without his con-
sent. The Director, or his appointee, may issue a day
license to any one applying for the same on payment
of a fee of two shillings and sixpence for each day's fishing.
The several forms of license shall be those set forth in the
Second Schedule hereto.

3. Any holder of a license may fish for trout in the above-
   named waters from the first day of November in any year
   to the thirty-first day of May in the following year, both
   inclusive; but every such license shall be for one season
   only, and shall expire on the thirty-first day of May fol-
   lowing the date on which it was issued, subject, however, to
   the special limitations and restrictions hereinafter mentioned.

4. Trout shall not be fished for, taken, or killed otherwise
   than with one rod and line; but a landing-net or gaff may
   be used to secure any trout caught with such rod and
   line. No lures or baits other than natural or artificial
   flies, insects, or fish shall be used with such rod and
   line, nor shall any of the said lures or baits be used except
   upon a running line attached to a rod and reel; nor shall
   any set rod or line be used for taking trout in any of the
   waters aforesaid.

5. No person shall use any bait or lure other than
   artificial fly in any of the streams following—namely, the
   Kaituna Stream from Lake Rotoiti to the electric-power
   station at the Okere Falls, the Waimakariri, Waitahanui,
   and Tahanatara Streams, the Tahuna-atara or Whangapoa
   Stream, and the Ohau Channel.

6. No person shall use any bait or lure other than artificial
   fly within a radius of three hundred yards of the mouths (or
   outlets, as the case may be) of any of the rivers, springs, or
   streams flowing into or from Lakes Rotorua, Rotoiti, Ro-
   toehu, Rotoma, Rotokakahi, and Tarawera.

7. No person shall use any bait or lure other than artifi-
   cial fly within a radius of three hundred yards from Te Ngae
   sunken reef in Lake Rotorua, as indicated by posts in the
   water.

8. No license shall be transferable, or be deemed to autho-
   rise any person other than the person named therein to fish.

9. No person shall take, fish for, or catch any Salmonidæ
   or trout, or in any way injure or disturb the same, between
   the first day of June and the thirty-first day of October in
   any year, which period is hereby appointed a close season for
   all such fish. No person shall have in his possession any
   Salmonidæ or trout between the fifth day of June and the
   first day of November following, except as provided for by
   the regulations regarding keeping trout in freezing or cool
   chambers after close of season, which were made by the
   Governor in Council on the sixth day of October, one
   thousand nine hundred and eight, and on the sixth day
   of September, one thousand nine hundred and nine, and
   published in the New Zealand Gazette of the eighth day of
   October, one thousand nine hundred and eight, and the
   sixteenth day of September, one thousand nine hundred and
   nine, respectively: Provided always that this regulation
   shall not apply to fish caught by the Director, or his
   appointee, or officers of the Marine Department, for purposes
   of acclimatisation.

10. No person shall cast or throw into any stream or waters
    in which trout or salmon exist or have been liberated, or
    shall allow to flow into or place near the bank or margin of
    any such stream or waters, any sawdust or sawmill refuse,
    lime, sheep-dip, flax-mill refuse, or any other matter or
    liquid that is noxious, poisonous, or injurious to fish: Pro-
    vided that nothing herein contained shall extend to prohibit
    the depositing in such stream of débris from any mining
    claim.

11. 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 re-
    turned alive into the water from which the same is taken.

12. No person shall fish for trout without a license; and
    every person fishing shall, on the demand of any Ranger,
    constable, officer of the Department of Agriculture, Com-
    merce, and Tourists, or of any person producing a license,
    give his true name and place of residence, and, on the like
    demand, produce and show to such Ranger, officer, 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.

13. Every trout not exceeding ten inches in length from
    nose to tip of tail taken or caught by any person shall im-
    mediately be returned alive into the water from which the
    same is taken.

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

15. Except as aforesaid, no person shall fish with or use
    any net, or any instrument, or device, or means for taking
    Salmonidæ or trout in any lake, river, or stream within the
    district aforesaid, or at the mouth or entrance of any such
    river or stream.

16. No fishing of the form known as trolling or spinning
    a bait from a boat, launch, or canoe shall be practised in
    any river, spring, or stream flowing into or from Lakes
    Rotorua, Rotoiti, Rotoehu, Rotoma, Tarawera, or Taupo,
    or in the said lakes within a radius of three hundred yards
    of the mouths (or outlets, as the case may be) of any of the
    said rivers, springs, or streams flowing into or from the said
    lakes, or any of them.

17. Nothing herein contained, or contained in any license
    issued under these regulations, shall be deemed to authorise
    any person to fish for or take Salmonidæ or trout from the
    Wairoa Stream between the waterfalls and Lake Tarawera.

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

19. No person shall take or catch more than twenty-five
    fish in any one day, except in the case of Lake Okataina,
    where not more than fifteen fish may be taken in any one
    day.

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

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