    The event, held at an irrigation pond for Dunstan Hills Orchard, Earnscleugh, is also supported by Fish & Game NZ, which released 250 trout for the occasion.

    The club’s fishing section president, Glen van den Yssell, said 126 children took part in the event, which had been going for at least 21 years.
