What percentage of the anglers in the USA actually fly fish?

Maybe 5%?

Does anyone know?

Bill,..... It seems to me that there was some discussion of this on Blanton's BB awhile ago. No conclusion was made as there were too many variables involved. However, If I recall correctly, the consensus was higher than 5%.

Isn't there some industry info/survey available on this subject
I've read surveys about the type of person who fly Fishes that included whether we were conservative or not, our average age, etc., So, there must something somewhere

Mike,

You are in a league of your own, you wild "commando".

I know it is pretty sad that everyone can't have a great love like fly fishing.
