Yes N for 3d - Angler's li[N]e: no source of fish in historic water = MONOFIL 'moil' = 'water' (archaic)
19d (I see you've removed part of the phrase) - Old fashioned French age upset about heartless addition to contract = ARRIERE 'age' = ERA (rev) around 'ri[d]er'
Yes S for 20d - Article on investigation overlooking Southern [S]heaths THECAE 'ca(s)e' = 'investigation'.
