Cromwell’s 20th annual ‘Rotary Fishing Classic’ competition was held at Lake Dunstan in Central Otago



Cromwell’s 20th annual ‘Rotary Fishing Classic’ competition was held at Lake Dunstan in Central Otago, NZ on Sunday November 17, 2013. It was a brilliant day with 164 entries and 102 fish weighed-in.
 
Rotary Club of Cromwell President Murray Kennedy presented prizes to David Wigg who was the winner of the heaviest fish overall at 1.644 kg. Whilst not winners, keen young participants Harvey and Millie O’Neill were also pleased with their catch. A traditional lolly scramble and the giving of certificates and prizes to all children, meant that no-one went away empty handed.
 
Over $5,000 of prizes were on offer, including a helicopter flight for three. We thank the Begg Security Group for being major supporters. We cannot list here all of the other sponsors, but with their generous and continued support, the Rotary Fishing Classic will last another 20 years.
