Liberals and conservatives both fish. Differences I've observed is that liberals, on average, tread a bit lighter on the earth, employing techniques that leave a smaller footprint and using land and water transportation that burn less fossil fuel. Conservative anglers, again, on average, are less likely to be involved in environmental activism, are more likely to live and fish in ways that leave a larger footprint, and use land and water transportation that burn the most fossil fuel. Liberal anglers tend to fish public water, while conservative anglers are more likely to fish private waters.

An atypical example would be the Moisie River Salmon Club, whose members are mostly "captains of industry" types, who own and or run corporations that pollute US waters, but no matter, they own a private river in Canada for their fishing recreation. The members live and fish with a maximum footprint on the landscape, tending to live in mansions, employ numerous servants (the Club has a staff to member ratio greater than 2:1). This is not all bad, as it creates employment and redistributes a small fraction of their wealth.

Of course, it is the exceptions that prove the rule, with Hankster fishing with his man-powered kayak and Aunty who grows her own food (but what's that parked in the mega garage?). There's probably even a liberal on this forum who drives a gas guzzler and a boat that burns gallons per hour. But again, on average . . .
