Two Edinburgh-based anglers are competing for Team Scotland in the two-day European Championship for coarse fishing on the Prinses Margriet Kannal near Spannenburg in The Netherlands.
Dave Corcoran from Davidson’s Mains and James Dornom (pictured) from Currie are in the five-strong squad which also includes Dave McAuley (Wishaw), Colin Hart (Coatbridge) and James Woodrow (Cumbernauld).
Gus Brindle, chairman of the Scottish Federation for Coarse Angling, is running the bank along with Derek Brady and Josh Trueman and Dunfermline-based Brindle said the squad had practiced well for the prestige event over five days.
The peg draw, he added, would be crucial and competitors had to be aware of sizeable barges who regularly use the canal, some up to 100ft long, when they were introducing bait to the water.
Day One was windy at the start
