Not sure about percentage of good anglers fishing the waters I fish but the percentage of people fishing since Covid is way up and many are keeping what they catch resulting in very few adult fish left. My favorite crappie lake got wiped out last year by meat head minnow dunkers. Small 5 acre lake that nobody fished hardly suddenly had 40 or 50 people with minnow's and lake was wiped out in a couple weeks. Conservation did a survey and not one adult crappie but hundreds of little ones. These small lakes just can't handle that kind of fishing pressure.
