Monthly licenses entitling the holder thereof to fish only in the waters of the Stratford Acclimatization District may be issued after the thirty-first day of December in each year at a fee of seven shillings and sixpence (7s. 6d.) each.

4. Trout or other acclimatized fish 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 or other acclimatized fish caught with such rod and line, and no lures or baits other than natural or artificial flies, natural or artificial minnow, silveries, bullies, grasshoppers, spiders, caterpillars, creepers, worms, or fish shall be used with such rod and line.

   Provided that nothing herein contained shall extend to prohibit the depositing in such stream of debris from any mining claim.

For the purpose of these regulations the mouth or entrance of every such river or stream shall be deemed to include every outlet of the same and the seashore between such outlets, and shall extend over a radius of 500 yds. 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.

13. No person shall buy, sell, or expose or offer for sale within the said district any of the salmonidae or trout, or take, fish for, catch, or kill any of the salmonidae or trout, in order to make sale of the same, without permission in writing under the hand of the Secretary of the society.

14. Any regulation regarding the number or weight of trout which a person may take or catch in any one day or other specified period which has been made by general regulations under the Fisheries Act, 1908, and its amendments or regulations, shall not apply to the said district.

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