He seems like just another old fart that looks down on the newer generations, proclaiming how in his day they did things this way and that way, blah blah blah...His writing is just a lot of opinion without any facts.

I often drive by the streams/brooks that trout fisherman hit on opening day and they are always packed. Cabelas seemed like it was booming yesterday with guys buying trout gear.

I would be interested in seeing actual stats, maybe comparing license purchases for this years opening day for compared to past years. Tackle shop sales current year vs prior year sales, ect...He maybe right, but from my observations, fishing seems to be a sport that has been gaining a ton of popularity and interest.

Some of the places I grew up fishing, you could fish at every day for the entire season and maybe see 2 other people fishing. Now a days the same places have 10 other anglers fishing there everyday.
