Economic Downturn = Boom in Fishing?

Again, I am reminded of the saying, "It's an ill wind that blows no good". That's because I saw an article in Newser reporting that the economic downturn is sparking a boom in recreational fishing. Apparently, bait and tackle shops are doing well as the recently unemployed flock to local lakes and streams. I imagine it takes their minds off their financial woes to spend a day in the great outdoors, plus it can be a relatively inexpensive hobby compared to, say, heli-skiing.

Good Luck and Good Fishin',
