Hm, interesting. I think a big chunk of it tbh is A) changing fashions(things are bound to move in and out of popularity) but I think the article is badly understating the disposable income and time component-not only do you have the cost of equipment but you have the time and energy cost of getting to where you go fishing(and a lot of younger people don't want or need a car, especially if you live in a major urban area with at least adequate public transit) or the time to find or go out to fishing spots/hire a guide depending on where you go. Most people don't know as much about fishing local spots, and the emphasis on destination fishing keeps people seeing it as something inaccessible to them.
