Economy has affected my fishing very little. Loss of time due to job changes and life changes has taken a much bigger bite out of my fishing than the economy.
I’ve found that I fish way more now than ever but I do find myself fishing closer to home, and less overnight trips. I just keep the poles in the truck wherever I go.
I got a new job last year and that killed my fishing time but i tripled my income so i can’t complain to much. as for the economy no to much but we’ll see what $5+ gas dose
