WHAT ABOUT CONDITIONS?
Officers of the North Canterbury Acclimatisation Society are not too sure what conditions will be like for the opening of the new fishing season. The chairman of the society's fish committee (Mr N. I. Voyce) says that with the dry winter and low rivers along the plains things are not the brightest. It has been necessary to transfer many hundred* of fish trapped In withering holes in various rivers from the Ashley to the Bakaia. Recent heavy rain in the high country has discoloured several rivers but there are high hopes that these will clear before October 1.
Mr Voyce does not think the society will be able to replace the hundreds of fish killed in the south branch of the Waimakariri after the mishap at a nearby freezing works.
