Tatapouri Fishing Contest

Although a ground swell made for less fish available than usual, members of the Tatapouri Fishing Club turned out in thirty boats for their competition held on Anniversary weekend.

Despite the conditions, however, there were some good catches of a number of varieties of fish and members were well pleased with the day.
