FISHING HOLIDAY
Englishman’s Return After Ten Years Two enthusiastic dry-fly fishermen from Warwickshire arrived at Wellington in the Wanganella from Sydney yesterday morning. They were Messrs. H. P. Cartwright and M. R. Cartwright, brothers connected with an old-estab-lished timber firm in Birmingham. It is 10 years ago that Mr. H. P. Cartwright first visited the Dominion, and he fished with notable success in the lakes and rivers of the South Island. Each year since then attractive reports of the aport to be obtained in the South Island have reached him, and it was toward the end of last year that he and his brother decided to make a joint pilgrimage to the former’s favourite fishing grounds in the south. It is Mr. M. R. Cartwright’s first visit to the Dominion, but they will spend a few months in the country “on a fishing holiday.” “Taupo, I have heard, is not fishing so well this season, but we intend fishing that district after we have-been to the south,” said Mr. H. P. Cartwright.
