A long line of people wait outside Oamaru Sports and Outdoors yesterday to register for the annual kids fishing day, being held at the McPherson Rd property owned by Mark and Sonya Eckhold on October 21.

Richard Hill, of Oamaru Sports and Outdoors, said all 200 spots were filled in 54 minutes.

The event is open to children aged between 3 and 13.

Hundreds of salmon, mostly between 3lbs and 6lbs, will be released into the pond at the property on October 16. Some fish will tips the scales at up to 18lbs, Mr Hill said.
