Facts first, field interpretation second.
FieldCurrent links original sources where possible, then labels practical guidance as interpretation. Species pages avoid local harvest rules unless a dated official source has been reviewed for the exact water and region.
That keeps the site useful without pretending a general guide can replace local regulations or changing environmental conditions.
