I think my first thought of fewer anglers without commercials is a strong feeling.
Especially with the very close to an explosion of new and returning older anglers that took almost every peg on local commercials.
In Sheffield we have two fishable rivers, The rivers Don and Rother, there's also the river Sheaf, I class the Sheaf as a stream. It still holds fish.
There are reservoirs Dam Flask, Underbank and Ulley all only a short drive away.
The only reason to mention these waters is the simple fact that virtually the banks are void of anglers. Reservoirs zero anglers with commercial rammed. The lockdowns have earned the commercial owners a good few quid and tackle shops haven't done too badly.
I doubt these returning anglers would start up again without commercials.
Folk now want more bang for their buck, like it or not commercials do it for them.
