Lake reference

Know the water before you plan the trip.

The weather pages tell you what the next window looks like. This page gives you the baseline on each lake so you can remember size, depth, target species, and which water you actually want to watch.

Lake field guide

Use the filter if you just want one state, or browse the full reference list and jump directly to the live weather page for the lake you care about.

The species order on each card is a trolling-oriented prominence read, not a complete lake inventory.

Use this page as your lake index

This section is here to help you move from basic lake context into the live tools that actually drive the trip decision.

Start with the lake notes. Use the cards above to narrow down which water fits the day, your target species, and how much exposure you want.

Then jump into weather or forecast. Each lake card links into the live weather view, and the forecast page lets you compare the next windows across the whole set.

If a real map gets added later, it should be a fast geographic index into those same tools, not just a decorative extra.
