In 2022, roughly 40 million Americans participated in fishing, demonstrating its popularity both as a sport and a method of providing sustenance for families.
The data shows a stark contrast in fishing interests; freshwater fishing is more prevalent, with states like Colorado and Montana thriving despite limited water access.
Some states rank high in fishing licenses despite being landlocked, attributed to exceptional fly-fishing opportunities which draw thousands of non-resident anglers each year.
The report highlights that coastal and major waterway states generally possess greater fishing licenses; however, many where fishing isn't strictly regulated yield lower numbers.
