Drop a line into the rulebook. Get one clear reading back.
The intel you need before the first cast. Pick your water and your fish, and Angler's Intel Net returns a single verified answer — keep it, release it, or don't. When the rule isn't confirmed, it says so instead of guessing.

The four readings
Open
You may keep it, within the posted limits below.
Release
Catch-and-release only — return it to the water.
Closed
No harvest here right now.
Unknown
No verified rule on file. We won't guess — confirm before you keep anything.
The legality reading is free for everyone, forever. You should never be one paywall away from knowing whether you can keep a fish. Plans add the extras — logging, timing, sources — never the answer.
