It will be necessary to cast in at least six 
events in order to get an official score for the 
season s average classification. Keep this in 
mind and make an effort to get into as many 
events as possible in order to build up your 
average. 
Prizes will be awarded on the average for the 
season s work, and according to classification. 
A frog-casting game will be introduced this 
season in order to develop greater skill under 
conditions which conform more exactly to 
actual bass fishing practice. In this event a 
rubber frog not exceeding three-quarters of an 
ounce in weight, and a line not lighter than 
No. s, or under ten pounds’ breaking strength, 
will be used, rods and reels unrestricted. Tar¬ 
get run same as in the half-ounce game. 
A class will be made up of such new mem¬ 
bers as have had little or no experience in tar¬ 
get practice. Several of the experts have volun¬ 
teered to act as instructors in this class and

North Shore Casting Club. 
Chicago, Ill., April 24 .— Editor Forest and 
The following events will take place 
S tream: 
New South Wales Anglers’ Casting Club. 
Through the efforts of its experts, says the 
annual report of this Australian Club, many 
members have attained proficiency in the use of 
the fly-rod, so much so that the least experi¬ 
enced now stand on a level with the average old 
world performers, as will be seen on comparing 
the club’s records with those of European cast¬ 
ing tournaments. 
Members visited a number of trout streams 
during the year and some valuable exploratory 
work was done by the Honorary Secretary, C. 
H. Gorrick, wffio found that the headwaters of 
the Snowy River are practically unfishable, owing 
to the ruggedness of the country, the precipitous 
banks of the streams, and the terrible force of 
the current in its confined rocky channel. Trips 
were made by members to the Murrumbidgee, 
the headwaters of which teem with S', iridcus 
and fario, running to very large size, and ex¬ 
cellent sport was enjoyed there. The Goodradig- 
bee was also visited, and 
a great many trout 
give such assistance as may be required to during the season at the Lagoon in Lincoln JaTed wid^othe' 1 ^ ^ ° f ^ ,S Sma11 C ° m " 
Park, just north of the Refectory, beginning

trout were caught there by Mr. Gorrick 
. .... _, Dr. 
Maitland and Dr. Arthur Cox. Some good fish 
were also taken in the upper Queanbeyan River, 
where the dense weed beds are a great draw¬ 
back to successful fishing. The fish in this river 
run to very large size. 
There was a very satisfactory attendance of 
members at the various competitions, and enthu¬ 
siasm was well maintained throughout the sea¬ 
son, the average number of competitors being 
considerably larger than in former years. Some 
remarkably fine performances were enacted, not¬ 
ably Di. H. L. Maitland’s magnificent cast of 
113 feet 3 inches, with a single-handed eleven- 
foot fly-rod, easily beating all Australian and 
European records. H. K. Anderson’s dry-fly 
east of 102 feet and his cast of 81 feet 7 inches 
under forward obstacle beat all previous records

. .in some 
cases, it was found not quite up to expectations, 
and a scheme for grading as adopted in English 
competitions has been suggested for the con¬ 
sideration of the incoming committee. 
Only two bait-casting competitions were held 
during the season, both of which were won by 
Mr. Anderson. A recommendation has been 
made to the new committee to include more of 
these events in the coming season’s program, 
the single hand overhead system of bait-casting 
having been proved invaluable in perch fishing, 
in fishing from a boat, and in beach fishing. 
J- P>. Meyer, of Manly, has presented a split 
cane fly-rod, value £5 5s., for the largest trout 
caught in New South Wales by a member of 
the N. S. W. Anglers’ Casting Club, during 
1910-n season. The fish to be caught on an 
artificial fly, certified as to weight to the satis¬ 
faction of the committee, and to be handed over 
to Mr. Meyer.
