My answer is a definite YES in my opinion as a lifelong dedicated match angler the introduction of so many commercial fisheries completely ruined match fishing. Long gone are the days of matches with as many as 1400 competitors. To win a real match was an achievement but not so today. I also think that the lack of variety has led to less skilful anglers. For example to see someone using a rod and reel is rare and possibly looked upon as a little out dated. There are many fisheries owned by clubs and associations where one can fish in peaceful surroundings with complete safety so as far as I amconcerned commercial fisheries are a "no go" area.
