Some time ago I was invited to take part in a Sport England sport participant satisfaction survey - how/why I got the email invitation I don't know. Anyway, the results are in:
http://www.sportengland.org/research/sport_satisfaction/headline_results.aspx
And the results may show why AT membership take up has been so low: Anglers are the 3rd most satisfied of all 45 sports surveyed, coming after only Judo and Taekwando. We're happy with our sport (sport? some of the questions highlight that this really isn't a sport, it's more of a recreation).
Take a look at the headline results, then look at the detail. It's very interesting: in a nutshell, we go fishing to get away from it all (which may hardly be a revelation but now it's official!)
