With Jho fix;ed:idea.t)»ai the "first" would be a bleak, /gusty: day, most anglers apparently made a late start with little onthusiasni, .but those; who were riot out early "missed- the- l)_us." One of the limit taker's on the Wainui was on the -water before 6 a.m., and had taken iiis permissible total on dry fly by 9 a.iyi.',-Rrassing eight fish on ono s-trctch of -water in twenty minutes. To this early rise the mildness of i the morning probably contributed, bufc his experience proves the futility of fishing wot fly mi til November, which some anglers persist in. (Special v to the "Evening.Post.'') IWE^IERSTOJN* N., This Day. With tho dawn yesterday angling enthusiasts were on the job for tho opening of the fishing season. No limit bags wero taken in the Manawatu district, but fibhermen had a good day. The Oroua did not* fish up to expectations. An ■indication of the successes can be gained from the'fact that club. ni'embors took 86 'fish weighing in the aggregate''over a hundredweight. In connection with tho-Palmcrston North Anglers' Club „ eoinpetitions, results were:—X. Tliorburn 11 fish (181b.7oz), S; J. Busst 10 lish (191b), A. M. Dalo 8 fish (81b 2oz), C. H. Hcminingsen, 8 fish (101b 8o?), N. Palmer 7. fish (131b 4oz), B. Proctor 0 fish (121b 3oz), W. Proctor 5 fish (101b ;7oz). There were a number -of smaller creels as well.
