Many of the people who used to post to uk.rec.fishing.* have floated
away to web-based forums like Angler's Net[0]. It's partly something
that's happening to the whole of Usenet, partly a reflection of the
vulnerability of unmoderated forums to sabotage.

Actually it's not popular, don't flatter yourself. How many weirdo's
who enjoying harming wildlife do you really think there are?

These groups are bit like your weird hobby, almost dead!

It's called hiding away, going underground. Rightly so, fishing is
socially unacceptable these days.
