ANGLING NOTES
CONDITIONS AT WAITAHANUI Some good fish were taken at Waitahanui during the week ended last Sunday. The season's heaviest fish so far reported there was taken on the fly by Mr G. R. Tattersall, of Palmerston North, below the Bridge, being a rainbow which scaled eight pounds four ounces. This was taken on Sunday last. The- same angler that day took another good fish from the Lupin Stretch which weighed six pounds one ounce.
Mr L. V. Ansell, Waipawa, took a nice 61bs 2oz fish at the Mouth on Saturday last. Smelt were numerous at the mouth last week-end. In Delatour's Pool on Saturday last eight fish were seen which appeared by their movements as if preparing to spawn. An interesting fact is the large number of young fish under takeable length that are to be seen in the River, while in the Mangamutu there are hundreds of them.
