Sudden rises in the Pomahaka and the Molyneux Rivers rather spoiled sport for anglers at the week-end, and no baskets of any importance were reported. Anglers from Balclutha, Clinton, and other places visited the Pomahaka, which was very dirty, and the majority of the fishermen failed to catch a .fish. The Molynqnx was in an even worse condition, but one Balclutha fisherman landed two good fish with the artificial minnow in the tidal waters of the Koau branch.
