Anderson has been particularly fortunate of late on this stream, on the 2nd he. had five, fish for two hours' fishing, and on the 3rd he had 13 fish, the heaviest weighing 2Mb, all caught .with the artificial fly. A Californian salmon,' weighing 24£lb, ,35 inches in length, and 24 inches in circumference at the thickest part, has been caught in the Opawa river by Mr Clouston, the secretary of the Marlborough Acclimatisation Society.
