Slim Pickings for IWA Angling Day

There was a big turnout for the Irish Wheelchair Association's annual Angling Day recently, The Irish Time reports.
As many as 90 competitors, representing 11 angling centres across the country, staked out spots along the Grand Canal at Lucan for the seventh year running.
Gusty conditions on the day resulted in a grand total zero catches in the three-hour competition - a stark contrast to last year's contest when more than 30 were caught and released.
But the anglers didn't let that get their spirits down, as the day was rounded off with a packed-out barbeque for competitors and volunteers.
