Fishing, even catch and release, definitely has an effect on fish populations. I have seen fishing pressure single handedly negatively affected multiple water bodies in the few years I have fished here...
As I said before there are multiple reasons for the fish population decline and angling pressure is one of those reasons. Whether or not closing the area to fishing instead of taking different approaches is the right way to do things is debatable.

Well said Rav. A very unbiased observation.
