Championships - PHOTO SHOTS
France's
local hero
Diego Da Silva
knows the river
but he, like the 
rest of the French team
didn't know about the
species that would
push them into
 second place
....eels

...so close,
Poland's
Piotr Lorenc,
the man who could
catch a bream
from virtually
anywhere,
looks on
anxiously

..will it
be enough?

Italy's
Ferruccio Gabba
finished with a
total points score
of 17 points
over the two days helping Italy
into the Bronze
medal position.

England's
Stevie Gardener
concentrates...
...this man
knows about
eels.

Along with
Will Rasion
they were England's
top performers
with 9 points
each.

Guido Nullens,
Belgium's
master of finesse,

...had to work
very hard for his 8 points on day 2.

Christoph
Hatzmann,
Austria's top scorer,
changes rigs to end the day with 13 points.
2780 grams
and 2 points
for Hungary's
Szilard Magyar
from C27.

Poles were
the method,
rigged with
floats up to
40 grams!!

3 points
for Portugal's
Mario Baptista
on C22
day 1.
Delightful
Paris maybe
but the fishing
was dreadful,
many sections
seemed almost
devoid of
fish.

....Au Revoir,

Jean Pierre
Fougeat
of France
signs autographs
after the match
for the huge crowd
who watched
him score
7 points with
345 grams
on day 2.

...a Fish!!
for Germany.
