The Sounder Fishing Guide
Every guide here answers the same three questions for one fish in one place: what's likely there right now, what to tie on, and when to go. The advice comes with its reasoning, because a recommendation you can't check is just a guess.
This is the same knowledge base that powers the Sounder app, which does it automatically for whatever spot you drop a pin on.

Ponds, lakes and rivers fish the same way nationwide, so these get one guide each rather than a near-copy per state.
