BAICLUTHA DISTRICT NEWS.

(From Odb Own Correspondent.) BALCLUTHA, October 1. FISHING SEASON. The weather for the Opening of the fishing season to-day was cold but fine, with the exception of a few showers in the, early morning. In the afternoon the sky became overcast again, and rain threatened. On the whole, however, the weather was good for angling. District rivers and streams are known to be full of water; if anything, somewhat high in the case of the smaller streams, but not highly coloured as after freshets, thus adding. one. more point in the angler’s favour* Parties from Balclutha visited the Gatlins, Waipahi, Waiwera, Owaka, and Pomahaka, while, as.usual, the big river held its attraction for the worm fisher. In the vicinity of the freezer at lunegand some very fair-sized- fish were caught by this method. Master A. Low was perhaps the most successful with nine trout, one weighing 9Jib.' Messrs t>°wer Bros, also secured a good bag, Mr R. Deaker four, and there were a number with smaller catches! PROPERTY SALE. The sale of the business premises of the late Air Robert M‘Lintoek to a local resident is reported. The building, it is understood, may be used for the purpose of a motor garage.
