My personal opinion on this is that in some areas of the country, where there may have been a lot of fly fisherman, there may be a decrease in fly fisherman and an increase in other areas. I know my area here is really crowded on weekends and it never use to be. I have been teaching a beginners fly tying class for over 6 years and the class always makes and I always seem to have students. Overall, I think there has been a steady growth of new people to fly fishing. Just my opinion.
