Synthesize a decade of research evaluating whether recreational fisheries are inherently resilient to harvest or prone to stock collapse.
Conducted a comprehensive literature review tracking scientific progress since Post et al. (2002) on recreational fisheries dynamics.
Evaluated interactions among angler behavior, fish life-history traits, depensation, and spatial connectivity across lake districts.
Fishery collapse risk is strongly governed by the response of fishing effort, depensation levels, life-history characteristics, and angler mobility across connected waters.
Conventional regulations restricting individual angler behavior in open-access fisheries fail to prevent stock collapse when total fishing effort is excessively high.
Adaptive experimental management provides the most effective framework to resolve key ecological uncertainties and minimize the risk of fishery collapse.
