WITH ROD AND LINE.

(By "May Fly "J. It has been suggested that a few noies on trout-fishing, etc., contributed at intervals would prove of interest to lovers of the rod, and with that idea

"May Flip" emerges from the chrysalis state and takes his initial flutter.

While on the wing it is my intention, among other things, to publish any catches of intere.-t that may come under my notice, and 1 lake this opportunity of inviting all anglers >n the district to co-operate with me with the view of making thi- column a suece.-s. Any news of interest, ;t(Jd:essed to "May Fly," care Daily Nlw's, will be thankfully received and inserted in due course.

It has been reported thai poaching is very prevalent in the lngienood streams, and if this is -o the Society should use every endeavor !" catch and convict tile culprits. I woujd suggest that the Society offer a reward to any person giving information that would lead to a conviction. It may not hr generally known that all license holders are rangers; such is the fact, and in the interests of the Society generally I would advise all members to use their best endeavois to at least add one poacher to their day'» hag. The rainti'm trout recently liberated in the Waiwakaiho stream seem t-j have established them-elyes ;l s they are frequently seen bv wiclders of the rod. Mr Has-sell h;is notified nie thai the brown and rainbow trout on view 'n Ins window have been secured by Mi Makroe and are to be sent to the Christchurch Exhibition, lioth these fish" wie caught in (he Waiwakaiho. and as they weighed when caught 22! lbs. the exhibit should draw considerable aitcniion to the No:t!> Jaranaki stieams.

The *o young (i h r"'« mlv purchased fi-'in the H.iwna hati'hriji-s are d-<ing well [ n the Rec. pomK and with ordinary luck they should l>« ready to liberate m F<b:uarv or March.
