Match fishing will all but dissappear in the next 25 years or so if the membership of my club is reflected across the country. Out of the 20 or so active members only 6 members are aged under 50 & 2 under 40
New younger members are not taking up match fishing at a club level at least not in my experiance. I dont fish a lot of opens but of those i have over the past few years i've been one of the youngest anglers on the match. If this is reflected nationally it wont be long before matches will dissappear all together.
Is this the same with your club. Are your fellow angler's getting older & your membership getting smaller?
