[quote AverysAdventure]I seen that the other day. It sounds like they will be screening and editing the entries before they are posted. Time will tell if it catches on. They still got a link for BFT on the page. Never been happy with the fishing reports on the F&G site but I'm not sure I like the idea of my $$ being spent managing such a thing. I'm more interested in what the wardens are actually seeing in the field than peoples reports.

[quote MMDon]IMHO private unverified reports crosses the line on a government web site. I too want to get reports from the F&G employees as to what they are seeing and what the creel sample numbers are. Opinion and hearsay . . .
not so much. [/quote]
I agree, somewhat. Money generated by F&G could be spent in better ways, but this would be cheaper than having their people fill out reports on every fishing hole across the state.
I think they are just trying to generate more traffic on their website, and promote fishing(license sales), all in one place.
As for the accuracy of the fishing reports, I'm willing to bet any website can't guarantee a fishing report is accurate.
Fishing conditions can change in a moment- there's no guarantee that the fishing will be the same in an hour, regardless of the reporter's accuracy.
