**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.

**Everywhere I went this year, I saw fewer anglers on the water** \*\*.\*\*

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.
