Unreliable

This app is super unreliable and gives out poor information about open and closed waters. Went fishing somewhere where, according to the app, it said it was open and available to fishing. Some nice people came up to me and informed me that it was actually closed. I went to a local fly shop to confirm and I showed them the app and they just laughed and said that this app often provides the wrong information. I thought this would be a nice app to have but now I’m worried that the information it gives me will be incorrect.

Annoyed

This state blows, buys baby carrots just to suck on them. Eats snickers upside down to feel the vainy part on their tongue. Dumb to have to do everything electronically

Complete garbage this is the best they can offer us with all the money they take from us
