"The number of anglers has been slipping for almost 20 years. That trend continued, according to the 2006 survey, with the most recent 5-year drop about 3.5 million anglers overall."

I'm sorry but I just don't see it.

Does that mean in a few years I don't have to worry about someone beating me to my favorite fishing spot? Hopefully that includes all the trash leavers.
Go catch a fish,

If the figures are true they've likely been chased off by ski-doos, 300 hp bass boats and ATVs ripping along the shores. I agree with Greg, though. Seems like there are more not less. JGW
most of the figures come from the various state fish and game departments and are based
on license sales. One of the problems (and you already know it) is the kids are sitting in front of either the TV or computer and don't have any outdoor experience. The family isn't what it was when most of us were growing up....and it is likely to get worse. Take a kid fishing.
