Frequently asked questions

How does the fishing spinner pick a species?

It draws only from species that have a verified 2026 statewide bag limit loaded for the state you select. The rules come from the state fish & wildlife agency (each entry carries its citation), so the spinner never recommends a species the state does not regulate in its dataset.

Can I keep the fish it picks?

The result shows the exact bag limit, season, and any minimum size or protected slot from the state rule. Always confirm on the agency site before keeping anything — local waters often have special rules beyond the statewide baseline.

What if a species I want is not listed for my state?

Only species with a verified statewide rule appear in the pool. If a combination is missing, the dataset is additive-only: we load verified entries rather than guessing. Check the state regulations page for species not yet loaded.
