Abstract

Since our last evening meeting several large fish have been
taken by a fixed net in the Derwent, immediately below
the mouth of the Plenty, which fish differed so materially
from the trout caught in the Plenty and those retained in
the ponds, as to induce a belief that a veritable grilse had at
length been caught. The first of these fish, a female weighing 4 1/2 lbs., was taken on the 26th December last, and is now before
you.
