I started thinking about this seeing the 'fish counter' thread....

I know some fishermen keep journals....but wouldn't it be a fantastic resource to be able to read an 'accurate' journal compiled after several years on a particular lake/river/stream? Especially from someone who took the time to carefully document things like water levels/flows, weather, hatches, plus what actually worked on the fish that were caught.

If the compiler fished often over the course of the seasons, then you'd have a pretty valuable tool to help decide what to fish, where to fish, and how to fish.

My own attempts at such things were years ago and for a different genre of fishing....

Be neat if those that had such a thing would think about sharing it....but it's hard won information, and maybe most would prefer to keep it close.
