Excerpt from Trout in New Zealand: Where to Go and How to Catch Them
This work has been written for the purpose of supplying a want long felt both by anglers in the colony and visitors, who are at a loss to know where to go and what to use in order to obtain the sport which is to be found with trout in New Zealand. Most anglers, even in New Zealand, are unacquainted with any district but their own, and strangers to the colony have had no means up till now of obtaining information except from personal inquiry from the friends they may chance to meet in their travels. It is hoped that this little book will give them most of the information they may require.
With regard to Canterbury I have had no difficulty, being personally acquainted with the whole of it. Want of leisure-time, however, prevented me from obtaining that local knowledge myself of the other districts, without which this work would be of little use to the angler and tourist. Had it not been for the assistance given me by the acclimatisation societies, and by friends living in the various parts of the colony, I could not have written it. To them I desire to return my sincere thanks. A few, however, have given me so much substantial assistance that I must make special mention of them.
