HOW TO FISH
‘HE coming fishing season will be a rather special one in the Bay of Plenty and Taupo districts-members of the Royal party are expected to try their skill with the rod there in the first few days of January. Something like 28,000 licences to fish in these districts are likely to be issued this season, and throughout the rest of the North and South Islands many more thousands of men and women will be spending their leisure hours by lakes and streams.
For this big audience 1¥Z has prepared a series of programmes on all aspects of angling, to be broadcast under the title, Tight Lines-the Angler's Programme. Several months ago a conference called by the station worked out the broad outlines of the series, which will be on general rather than local lines and should interest anglers throughout New Zealand. Tight Lines will start with a talk by Rowland Dickinson, fisheries assistant in the Internal Affairs Departmént, Rotorua, on the history and introduction of trout into. New Zealand. This will be heard at 7.15 p.m. on
Tuesday, August 25. In the second of these weekly programmes Alan Pye, of Huka Lodge, Taupo, a veteran fisherman, with an international reputation, will be heard discussing angling as an art. Other talks will be about the choice of equipment, knots and flies and the care of equipment, the fundamental principles of casting, developing technique in casting, the strike. playing and landing of the fish and dry versus wet fly fishing. Those taking part will include Frank Lord, a Rotorua business man and an authority
on many aspects of angling; Con Voss, of Rotorua, New Zealand fly casting champion and New Zealand representative on the International Fly Casting Federation; S. A. McNamara, Conservator of Wild Life at Rotorua; and J. F. Thomas, President of the Bay of Plenty Fishing and Shooting Federation. The last. two speakers will be heard together in the ninth programme, and the series will end with two programmes in which the experts will answer and _ discuss questions which anglers are invited to send to 1YZ.
