A lot of people quit fishing.
I think there are limits to the type of intrinsic rewards one can expect from fishing. Some people come to fishing with the notion of it becoming a replacement for a spiritual void in their lives and it does. But for most, it does not. That one I think, is the biggie: they came to fishing with unrealistic expectations of what it would do for them as a person.
Art, music, literature - to me, they are more richly layered and can provide greater satisfaction on a more consistent basis. You put time into studying them, and you get rewarded, just about every time. You don't get skunked, or have technical difficulties that make the day suck, you don't puke or break something, and there's not five months when it's simply over.
