GOOD SPORT.

Good sport is reported -from . mostV'of ; the streams'within angler's reach of the city, and ideal leather was experienced for: the] week-end. Some of ' the swiftrunning streams -are- still pretty brown from the effects of; last ' week's heavy rains, hut they\were all fishable. On Sunday one angler succeeded in creeling (from the' Wainui) . fourteen fish, which weighed' fifteen:'-pounds,--; which -is very good indeed for that stream.. Some nice baskets'were got at.Mungaroa, which appears to be developing into a good earlyseason, ' stream... A fly-fisher is said to have taken tho limit in Silverstream be-, tween 4 a.m. and .8 a.m. on Sunday.'

The Waikanao trout have become' so used' to the wriggling ■ thread -of - pink that they have forgotten that the 'fly-is fair game-:they. aie takings the Acclimatisation Society at its wbrni{ '••'Some nice bags of small fish' have been, secured' at South Kaiori.'- The; ICaiwarra Stream is- reported ,"to'; be the nest thing to • troutless—denudation has followed on neglect. This is ;regretted; by many, for, although the Kaiwarra .is only. : a' small stream, it' is almost, the' only one that a oitizen can easily -reach for an afternoon's fishing,' unless ho be a motor-cyclist.. : ■ ' .
