Craig Aitken (left) and Mrs Cicely Barnett pick up tips on spinners from Mr Dave Bashford, of Brooklands, during a salmon fishing school at McLeans Island. More than 60 people of all ages turned out on the banks of the Waimakariri River for the first school of its kind in Canterbury. It was organised by the New Zealand Salmon Anglers’ Association. Topics included the lifecycle of the salmon, general conservation principles, river safety, equipment, and choosing the best place to fish. The association’s president, Mr Colin Hill, said the response was so good that another school for more experienced anglers was being considered.
