We separate explanation, reported facts and editorial recommendations. Official agencies are the first source for rules and access. Manufacturers can establish their own specifications; they do not independently prove a product is the best.
Evidence and scope
Guides identify the applicable region, cite sources and show a check date. A check date is not a promise that a rule remains unchanged. Readers should confirm the exact water’s current requirements before fishing.
AI and human review
The starter collection uses AI-assisted drafting and research. No personal fishing experience, credentials or testing is invented. Technical and hazardous subjects require competent review; the page must say when that review is still outstanding.
Meaningful updates
Change the article’s updated date when advice, evidence or important details change. Do not refresh dates solely to appear recent. Clearly distinguish corrections from routine layout changes.
