The Leinster Coarse Fishing Federation report that 22 anglers lined the canal banks at Enfield for the first Royal Enfield open 5-hour match last weekend. A lot of work had gone into tidying up the venue and cleaning out swims in the week leading up to the event, so everything was in good order for the match.
What the anglers didn’t need was a huge deluge halfway through the match, as the heavens opened on top of the contestants. And, just as they were beginning to dry off, a second downpour arrived to finish them off. The fishing itself was patchy, with plenty of small rudd and roach showing.
