Was thinking lately will match fishing be around in the future? Seeing results from nationals etc, they seem to be attended by alot less than when i used to fish them in the 90s. I remember there being 5 divisions in the old NFS nationals, god knows how many teams in the junior nationals (about 15 teams now between junior and youths) regional summer and winter leagues. Even the open/club match results seem to have fewer attendees and many are names I remember from the 90s. At my two local clubs the average junior attendance in matches is 2-4. I can remember interclub matches where each club would have 2-3 teams of 5. Without the youngsters coming through i fear match fishing will be a dying art in years to come
