But as a promoter and endorser of youth fishing, I do see the youth as the future of fishing. Where they go could easily determine the staying power of the sport, and not just from a tournament perspective. Fishing is a sport that can be played for a lifetime, and if embraced at an early age means years of enjoyment and spending.
The second side of the sword is now those who have inventory are seeing fewer purchases. No doubt gas costs and inflation has had an impact, with more folks holding on to their money a little tighter. Runyan and Cominsky were indicted earlier this month on felony charges of cheating, attempted grand theft, possessing criminal tools and misdemeanor charges of unlawfully owning wild animals.

CLEVELAND — Two men accused of stuffing five walleye with lead weights and fish fillets during a lucrative fishing tournament on Lake Erie pleaded not guilty to cheating and other charges on Wednesday. Marine animal rescuers are trialling different ways of freeing whales stuck in fishing gear off the West Australian coast in response to changing trends. Less people are fishing this year in North Dakota, continuing a half-decade trend of declining fishing license sales in the state, while hunting interest is up compared to the same time last year, especially for non-resident hunters. All residential fishing license sales are down in 2022 except for senior licenses, and droughts over the last couple years have affected game habitat, such as waterfowl wetlands, according to data from NDGF. Because of the 2021 drought and inflated participation the year before, 21% fewer pheasants were harvested last year compared to 2020.
The largest group of participants who grew up with fishing and are passionate about it are now at retirement age. I have heard more and more of the die-hards who are either slowing down or quitting — burnout and aging can be the culprit. Chasing little green fish is definitely a lifestyle activity, but when the rewards aren’t enough to balance the increased costs, plus aching knees, backs and give-a-hoots, they do not buy new boats, rods and reels or tackle at the rate they once did.

The post featured clips of Momoa, who slicked his hair back into a bun, flexing his fishing skills and posing with a pal as they showed off their catches. Located just northwest of Sisters, the Metolius is restricted to catch-and-release fly-fishing with barbless hooks.
Through her position, she helps coordinate education efforts, marketing campaigns and tries to better understand reasons driving the decline or increase in specific license sales. However, 2022 pheasant and waterfowl counts are up from 2021 counts, which should have encouraged more hunters to buy licenses this year. As a special funding agency, the North Dakota Game and Fish Department relies entirely on license sales and federal excise tax derived from firearm and boat purchases that are reallocated to state conservation programs. “Fishermen in the area were going after a limit of perch first, which is only 10 fish in our area, then heading a little further offshore for a limit of walleye,” said Hanko.
