Everywhere I went this year, I saw fewer anglers on the water.
I am sure I don’t have to guess the reason, But for clerical sake I am putting this question to the test.
You may feel free to reply if you have not gone for other reasons, or you want to jump in on the topic.
2011, and gas prices are cutting my fishing trips in half [frown]. I’ve also aquired a new truck, and thats not helping much fuel consumption lol. I can bring out allot more stuff but it’s costing a bit more now.

Only in my dreams. I haven’t seen it. If anything, I see more anglers because they are staying at their destinations longer than usual to justify the gas expense. Fewer quick trips, more “go and stay a while” trips. On my local lake and river (Gorge/Green) for example, more will come and stay for a week rather than make several 1-2 day trips.
