On track for a 2020 ban on sportsfishing?

Years ago I made a prediction (here) that sports fishing would be
banned around the year 2020 and that pure, Catch and Release fishing
would be causal for this.

I would have to think the following website is indicitive of the
direction of the animal rights groups and the more citified people who,
as Russell Chatham says, "only exposure to unreconstructed nature is
stepping in a pile of poodle excrement on the sidewalk".

The Norwegian's figured this out in 1998. The basic arguments were
basically restated in the Norwegian Ministry of Agriculture report:

Bottom line, if you want to preserve fishing develop a taste for fish.
Kill what you catch and then quit. It is the only way folks.
