Where on the map
National footprint, roughly to scale. Click a region to zoom in. Southeast waters sit densest because that’s where the public gage, agency, and hatch stack runs deepest right now. Colorado, Utah, Montana, the Pacific Northwest, Sierra, Northeast, Ozarks, and Piedmont sit on the same basemap — coverage expands anywhere USGS, agency regs, and hatch notes support an honest bait read.
