Why this exists

Most fly fishing sites are either gear-store noise or gated communities. The questions a real angler asks — "what's hatching on the Farmington right now?", "what flow is the Housatonic running?", "what should I tie on this morning?" — should have free, fast, accurate answers. That's what these tools do.
