I don't believe it either.
The claim that fishing has declined by 20% is just too increadable to be true. So where does this stuff come from?

It is clearly possible that they are innocent but inept researchers. But it is hard to beleive that anyone could be THAT bad.

The other option is that they have intentionally skewed their date and findings. What possible motive could they have for that? I can't imagine that anyone is going to be helped by proclaming the demise of fly-fishing?

I don't have any idea how the Outdoor Industry Federation is, or what their ajenda is... that may explain their study.

weird stuff.
