Glorious weather jonditions, with bright, clear, sunny lays, ruled throughout the holidays, With the result that the fishing obained was disappointing. Campers were numerous, and launch iwners were particularly busy. Although there were a few fair latches as the result of trolling operuions, fly fishermen obtained very ioor sport, mainly on account of the •lear conditions. Another .contributing factor was he presence on parts of the hike of jiiantities of what had the appearing of a minute yellow weed ,r pollen off the bracken. All parts >f the North Island were represented n the huge -crowd of visitors at the ake, and a' thoroughly enjoyable lolidny was spent. All accommodaion was taxed to the utmost. The road beiween Napier and Till dtnra is in an exceptionally rough ta'te nt present, and caused incon'.■enieuce, to holiday traffic. .From Pitiokura on to Taupo, however, it Is in excellent condition. A certain amount of metal patching is in progress on the Napier end of the route. while valuable work is being carried )ii in the vicinity of the Glengarry cutting in the direction of improving n-nds and sharp turns, bill a great leal of work will be required before he road is restored to anything approaching reasonably good order.
