Huh? Rivers closer to metropolitan areas have higher encounter rates just by the shear nature of angler numbers (pressure). It most certainly does have something to do with the final numbers. It's not the whole story (plants, ocean conditions, returns, etc.), but it is a contributing factor. This is basic algebra here.
