ANGLING NOTES.

I A recent visit paid to the Waipahi sndWaiwera rivers by Mr 11. Chisholm was pr aductivo of some excellentsporfc with the rod. MrChisholm tried the former stream on Wednesday morning, beginning at 8 o'clock, and in five hours' time had grassed five fish, weighing 171b, three ef them turning the scale at 41b eatii, although they were in nothing like the condition of those subsequently caught in the Warwera. In a month's time, however, this stream should yield trout that anyone might be proud to take. The trout caught iv the Waipahi wera all secured with the bare fly. The fish caught by .Mr Chisholm in the Waiwera were splendid specimens, the girth of one (Weighing 6>Hb) being something quite beyond the, common. The basket made consisted of seven trout weigh-ing-211b, and-they were all taken in the short space of four hours on Thursday morning. Two were taken with the fly and the remainder with the creeper. The rivers are reported to be very • low, and it was only by using the very finest tackle and approaching the fish very warily that IHr Chisholm can account for his success. Some fair baskets of fish were taken at the W&italri on Wednesday. Mr Ji Mitchell, 10; Mr W. Bruce, 7; Mr John Sinclair, 4; Mr George Bruce, 4; and Mr Aitken, 3. Others whose names wo have not learned secured fair baskets.—North Otago Times.
