The Angler's Paradise.

With its four splendid rivers all within a few minutes’ reach, the angler for trout has a choice of locality unequalled by any other town—the Temuka River skirting the borough, and the Opihi only separated by a few chains; whilst the beautiful Tengawai and the Orari are reached in a few minutes by motor car. Should the angler prefer salmon fishing, what finer river for his sport than the Rangitata, with its splendid flow of beautiful snow-fed water as it winds its way to old Father Ocean!

The greatest tribute to the popularity of the trout streams of South Canterbury, and more particularly of Temuka, is the fact that anglers come regularly every year from the Old Country, Europe, America and Australia, to take up their abode for a considerable portion of the season at Temuka. Many of these anglers prefer to camp on the banks of the various streams, the hotel and private accommodation, which is first-class in Temuka, being usually taxed to the utmost.
