SALMON FISHING
SUCCESS IN THE SOUTH 1 About 60 quinnat salmon were landed at the mouth of the Rangitata River, Canterbury, during last weekend, and several good catches were made at the Rakaia River mouth. Fifteen salmon, including two of more than 301b., and eight of more than '201b., were caught by Messrs. H. B. and E Millichamp, of Tinwald, Ashburton, near tho mouth of the Rakaia. The anglers said that the salmon are running earlier than expected, and are larger than the fish caught last year. The Rangitata River was in excellent order for the salmon run. There were more than 50 rods out, and the quinnat landed ranged from 3jlb. to 301b. in weight. Mr. J. W. Keig caught two of 241b. and two of lolb.
