River blackfish, blue swimmer crab and coral trout now have species cards and computed closures.
Checked against: The VFA river blackfish page and Inland Angling Guide, DPIRD WA blue swimmer crab rules, Queensland DPI closed seasons in tidal waters, PIRSA’s Lakes and Coorong black bream notices, the NRE Tasmania sand flathead notices and the Queensland tidal waterways map, 29 September 2026
Found: Three closures were verified in the September audit but could not be shown because the species were not on the site: river blackfish south of the Great Dividing Range (1 September to 31 December), blue swimmer crabs from the Swan River to Minninup (1 September to 30 November) and coral reef fin fish, closed for five days around the October and November new moons. The Coorong black bream closure turned out to be renewed each season by notice, and the Dunalley page said flathead could be fished in both bays, although the bay south of the canal is closed. The Nerang River point was checked and is above the tidal limit, so the bass closure in tidal waters does not apply there.
Done: The three species have cards on 42 waters where the agency records them, each rule computed and checked against the dates the agency published (the coral reef windows against all ten published years). The Coorong rule is validated against two dated notices and flagged for re-reading each February; Dunalley shows the closure for the part of the water it covers.

The Glenelg at Casterton showed Murray cod and golden perch, which the VFA does not list for that reach.
Checked against: The VFA Inland Angling Guide for the Glenelg basin, Dergholm to Casterton, read on 29 September 2026
Found: The VFA names short-finned eel, redfin and river blackfish as the main fish of the reach and notes that stocking in the basin has not produced worthwhile results. It lists no Murray cod or golden perch there, yet our page followed both.
Done: The page now scores river blackfish only, with their spring closure, and its text and questions name the fish the VFA lists. Agnes Water and Bargara, whose pages already describe coral trout from the boats and sit north of the 24°50′S line, now carry the coral trout card with its October and November closures. Rockhampton and Ayr, whose points are inland, do not. Goolwa now shows the black bream closure of the Lakes and Coorong, whose waters include the lakes, the Coorong and the coast from Beach Road at Goolwa.

Lake Murchison and Lake Margaret were taken down: one is closed to the public, the other has no documented public access.
Checked against: Hydro Tasmania’s recreation map and visitor conditions, the Inland Fisheries Service Waters A–Z, stocking records and 2026-27 Inland Fishing Code, and theLIST, 28 September 2026
Found: Hydro Tasmania maps the whole of Lake Murchison as a waterway exclusion zone, where swimming, boating, paddling and walking are prohibited, yet our page suggested shore spots and a boat or kayak. Lake Margaret sits on Hydro land behind boom gates, its dams are exclusion zones, and no official page says anglers may reach its shore; our page named brown trout and shore spots with no source. The Inland Fisheries Service lists and stocks neither lake.
Done: Both pages redirect to the Tasmania hub, as with the four waters removed in the September audit. The Tasmania lake levels page keeps both storages in its table, marked as having no public access.

Thirty-seven Tasmanian lake pages showed a volume that was not the lake’s.
Checked against: The Bureau of Meteorology’s Australian Water Storages list and the Water Data Online series for every Tasmanian storage, 28 September 2026
Found: The pages read a Hydro Tasmania volume series from the right station that does not measure the lake’s volume: Dee Lagoon showed 191 ML against the Bureau’s 40,223 ML, and Lake Pedder about 138 GL against 2.7 GL. The levels were right.
Done: The 37 pages read the Bureau’s accessible volume for the same station. A new Tasmania lake levels page lists all 43 storages the Bureau publishes, headlined by Great Lake, because a state total is mostly Lake Gordon and would be confused with Hydro Tasmania’s energy in storage, which measures something else.

Thirty-nine pages still read gauges that had stopped reporting; 27 now read a live gauge on the same water.
Checked against: Every station on Water Data Online within reach of each water, by name, river and distance, and the Bureau of Meteorology’s Australian Water Storages list, 28 September 2026
Found: Many of the old stations had closed decades ago (Barron at Kuranda in 1941, Albert at Kerry in 1922, Murrumbidgee at Hay in 1982), and the Western Australian dam pages read stations that stopped in October 2025. Their pages already said no recent reading was available, but several taglines and answers still spoke of a live Bureau gauge.
Done: Twenty-five pages now read a live gauge on the same storage, or on the same river and reach within about ten kilometres with no major tributary or weir between; Hay reads the Hay Weir pool 12 km downstream and Alexandra the Molesworth gauge 13 km downstream, and both pages say so. The station and its distance are recorded. Twelve stay without a live gauge because nothing measures the same reach (Narrabri, Mildura, Robinvale, Bridgewater, Benalla, Talbingo, Jounama, Crescent, Sorell, Burley Griffin, Beaudesert, Hughenden), and their text now says so. New dam-level pages cover Western Australia, Perth and Canberra.

Ross River Dam is now catch and release only, with longer opening hours for most of the year.
Checked against: Townsville City Council’s recreational fishing, dam levels and blue-green algae pages, 28 September 2026
Found: The council now tells anglers not to eat fish, red claw or mussels from the dam because of blue-green algae and makes fishing catch and release only. Our page said only that the council advised against eating fish, and gave the December to February hours but not the March to November ones (6 am to 6 pm).
Done: The page states the rule and both sets of hours, and the barramundi card shows catch and release only alongside the east coast closure. The new Townsville dam levels page reads Ross River Dam as the council does, on its own, because Burdekin water reaches the city through it.

Murray cod in the SA Water reservoirs were shown without the catch-and-release rule.
Checked against: PIRSA’s Murray cod page and SA Water’s and the Department for Environment and Water’s reservoir pages, 28 September 2026
Found: PIRSA allows Murray cod to be caught and released all year when reservoir fishing, and never kept, but the species cards of Warren, Myponga and South Para showed cod with no rule. Beetaloo Reservoir, added the same day, opens only from 1 May to 1 November.
Done: A computed rule now marks cod as release only in every SA Water and DEW reservoir we cover, and Beetaloo’s card shows the reservoir’s own season. Five reservoirs on SA Water’s permit list and Melbourne Water’s Sugarloaf, the one Melbourne Water catchment open to fishing, now have pages.

Ross River Dam and Lake Julius read gauges that had stopped reporting; both now read live stations.
Checked against: The Bureau of Meteorology’s Australian Water Storages list and the Water Data Online series for both storages, 28 September 2026
Found: Ross River Dam read station 532020A, silent since July 2019, while Townsville City Council publishes the dam through the Bureau as station 9573 once a day. Lake Julius read 913015A, silent, while 913015B reports every hour. Both pages already said, correctly, that no recent reading was available, but neither looked for the live station.
Done: Both pages read the live station and name it; the Ross River Dam page now also shows the level in its title. The same Bureau list now feeds the new state dam-level pages, which show every storage the Bureau publishes in New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria and South Australia with its capacity, percentage full and seven-day change.

Today’s report gave a fishing plan for species that were closed that day.
Checked against: The report and species guide of the pages whose species cards carry a computed closure, after the Canadian rules were added to the same engine, 27 September 2026
Found: The closure chip was right, but the plan next to it still said how to fish the species, so a reader skimming the report could take a closed fish as a target.
Done: A closed species now shows the closure and the date it reopens instead of a plan, and a catch-and-release-only species says so beside the plan.

Fifteen closure rules were missing from the calculated seasons, and a water could show only one closure per species.
Checked against: NT Government (Daly River Fish Management Zone), DPI Queensland closed tidal and fresh waters, the VFA trout and salmon regulations, DPIRD NSW eastern freshwater cod closure, PIRSA calamari, bream and Murray cod pages, NRE Tasmania sand flathead notice and Recreational Sea Fishing Guide 2025-26, the ACT Government rules, 27 September 2026
Found: Missing: the Daly River mouth closure (all fishing, 1 October to 31 January); the Queensland Spanish mackerel closures, which north of 22°S follow the October and November new moons; the Queensland ban on fishing lines in the upper Albert, Coomera and Stanley from 1 August to 31 October; the Victorian tailrace rivers closed to all hook and line during the trout closure; the Mann and Nymboida closure; South Australia’s calamari closure in the gulfs and the black bream closure in the Coorong; Tasmania’s sand flathead closure in the south-east and its two calamari closures; and the ACT Murray cod season. Two were wrong: the Hopkins River has no trout closed season, and PIRSA leaves lakes Alexandrina and Albert out of the January to July catch-and-release window for Murray cod. The engine also read only the first rule for each species, so a second closure on the same water never showed.
Done: All are calculated now, each with its source and the years the agency published; the new-moon windows reproduce the eight Spanish mackerel windows DPI Queensland has published for 2026 to 2029. The engine reads every rule and shows the one that closes. Rules for species we do not carry yet (river blackfish, blue swimmer crab, coral reef fin fish) are verified and waiting; the K’gari eastern beach and the Snowy native fish rules are in the guides, because they cover part of a water.
2026-09-27 · Written guides · Our error · Corrected
Every written guide on the 643 waters was re-checked against the bodies that manage the water; 2,180 changes.
Checked against: The fishing rules, closures, marine park zoning, stocking records, access and boating rules of the state fisheries agencies (DPIRD NSW, VFA, Queensland DPI, PIRSA, DPIRD WA, NRE Tasmania and the Inland Fisheries Service, NT Fisheries, ACT Government), the park services, the water authorities and the councils, 27 September 2026; each page lists the pages that were opened
Found: Every guide needed at least one change. The serious ones: Murray cod called closed in Lake Eildon and Cairn Curran, which the VFA keeps open all year; snapper offered as a catch at Adelaide, Port Lincoln, Whyalla, Port Augusta and Kangaroo Island, all closed to snapper until 30 June 2027; boat fishing for dhufish and pink snapper suggested at Geraldton, Mandurah, Bunbury and Busselton, where the West Coast demersal closure applies; a Macquarie perch fishery described at Dartmouth, where taking them has been banned in Victoria since 20 December 2023; fishing spots inside the Barwon Bluff, Point Lonsdale and Mushroom Reef sanctuaries and squid in the North Harbour Aquatic Reserve at Manly; Macquarie Harbour at Strahan treated as inland water; the NSW rock-fishing lifejacket law applied at five places that are not declared areas; camping offered at six storages whose operators prohibit it; and cod holes named below weirs and locks that sit inside closed zones. About a third of the changes removed ramps, jetties, depths and history no official page confirms, and superlatives nobody official makes.
Done: The guides were rewritten from the pages opened, every page now lists them with the date under “Pages checked”, and what could not be verified was taken out rather than kept with a hedge. Rules the text now names but the calculated closed seasons did not have are listed in the next entries.

Four Queensland storages were scored for the wrong place, and this log had said three of them were fixed.
Checked against: Every entity’s coordinates against the bounds of its state, and each storage against OpenStreetMap and its Water Data Online station, 27 September 2026
Found: Maroon, Hinze and Wyaralong still carried the station record’s coordinates, which put them in the Pacific Ocean, although the entry of 24 September says they had been replaced; Glenlyon Dam carried a point in Antarctica. Their weather, sun and moon times and score were computed for those points. Separately, ten estuary pages were scored for a point where the tide model has no sea: the Shoalhaven, Clyde, Richmond, Clarence and Manning at inland gazetteer points (the Manning page said Taree and was scored 100 km west of it), the Hawkesbury inland of the Brooklyn it named, the Tambo and Mitchell above Lake King, the Fitzroy in Victoria near Heywood, and Kawana, whose guide is Kawana Waters on the Sunshine Coast, at the Kawana suburb of Rockhampton.
Done: The four storages now use the dam as mapped and the ten estuaries a point on the tidal reach their guide describes, each checked to return a modelled tide, with the sentence that says where the page is scored rewritten where it named the old point. The checker now fails any water outside its state.

Pages whose gauge had gone silent still said “Live readings”.
Checked against: The last thirty days of the level series of all 395 gauges the pages read from Water Data Online, 27 September 2026
Found: Forty-two stations had sent nothing in thirty days, some since the 1920s to 1980s (Albert River at Kerry, Barron at Kuranda, Logan at Beaudesert) and Dartmouth’s dam-wall station since March 2017. The chart disappeared as it should, but the heading above it still promised live readings from the station.
Done: The page now says the station has sent no reading in the last thirty days and that conditions are modelled, and names the gauge only when it has reported. Dartmouth reads the storage series Goulburn-Murray Water supplies instead. The silent stations are kept, so a reading shows again the day one reports.

The Murray and Lake Hume followed the licence and rules of the bank rather than of the state that manages the water.
Checked against: The VFA pages on fishing the Murray and on reciprocal licences for Lake Hume, and DPIRD NSW’s rules for lakes Hume and Mulwala, 27 September 2026
Found: The Murray is New South Wales water from bank to bank, so the NSW fee applies even from the Victorian bank, yet the five Victorian Murray pages showed the Victorian licence. Lake Hume is the reverse: Victoria manages the whole lake and also accepts the NSW fee receipt, while our licence hub said the border decided. Lake Mulwala is managed by New South Wales and only its fee applies.
Done: Each border water now carries the managing state, which sets both the licence panel and the calculated closed seasons, and the hub answer was rewritten.

Four waters were taken down because fishing is not allowed or there is no public access.
Checked against: WaterNSW’s restrictions for Wingecarribee; the VFA angling guide and Central Highlands Water’s list for Lal Lal; Melbourne Water on Tarago; Sunwater on Lemon Tree Weir, 27 September 2026
Found: Wingecarribee is closed to fishing, boating and swimming; Lal Lal is described by the VFA as a private water with no public access; Tarago is not yet open to fishing; Lemon Tree Weir has no public access and can be reached only across private land. Our pages described shore fishing at all four.
Done: The four pages redirect to their state, the same rule applied in Japan: we do not publish a fishing report for water no one may fish. Tallowa Dam, closed by WaterNSW until mid-2027 while the road is repaired, stays published with the closure at the top of its guide.

Species cards listed fish the managing agency does not record in the water.
Checked against: Inland Fisheries Service water pages, the VFA and DPIRD NSW stocking records, SA Water’s reservoir fishing pages and Queensland’s stocked impoundment list, 27 September 2026
Found: Arthurs Lake showed rainbow trout (the IFS records brown trout only); Lake Plimsoll showed brown and rainbow trout (it is a brook trout fishery); the SA Water reservoirs at Warren, Myponga and South Para showed trout (SA Water lists Murray cod, golden perch and silver perch); Devilbend showed bass and golden perch (it is stocked with trout); golden perch appeared at Lostock, Glenmaggie and Wyaralong, and bream on four freshwater river reaches.
Done: Each water now takes the species the agency records; brook trout was added for Plimsoll. The species cards’ season lines were also corrected: bass close in NSW rivers from 1 May, not June, and Victorian trout streams open in September.

South Australia’s Murray cod rule was linked but not computed, and the river pages read as if cod could be kept.
Checked against: PIRSA’s Murray cod page, read on 25 September 2026, against the eleven South Australian River Murray and Lower Lakes pages
Found: PIRSA does not allow Murray cod to be taken at any time from the River Murray or lakes Albert and Alexandrina: catch and release is allowed from 1 January to 31 July, except on the Chowilla floodplain, and cod may not be targeted at all from 1 August to 31 December. Our pages said cod were fished under PIRSA’s size and bag limits and any closed season, which suggested they could be kept.
Done: The rule is now computed on the species card of the eleven waters, with a release-only chip for January to July and a closed chip for August to December, and each page states that cod are never kept. The state hub and the Murray cod page carry the rule with the date it was read.

Three river reaches were moved or renamed to the gauge that actually exists, and one has no gauge at all.
Checked against: The Bureau of Meteorology Water Data Online time-series lists for the hundred river gauges of the second Phase 2 batch, 24 September 2026
Found: The Hunter at Maitland (210047) and the Macquarie at Ross in Tasmania (20.1) publish no water level series, and the Mary River at Shady Camp in the Territory has rainfall stations only. The Dawson at Theodore publishes a storage level of the weir pool rather than a river level, and the Murray at Renmark’s upstream station carries conductivity and temperature only.
Done: The Hunter page reads the Greta gauge (210064) and is named Hunter River at Greta; the Tasmanian Macquarie reads the Trefusis gauge (18217.1) and is named Macquarie River near Ross; Theodore reads the weir pool level and says so; Renmark reads the pump station gauge (A4260628). Shady Camp is published without a level module and says why. No gauge was borrowed from another reach.

Checked against: The Composite Gazetteer of Australia query service, while resolving the hundred coastal towns of Phase 2 batch 3 on 24 September 2026
Found: Twenty-nine towns in Victoria and Western Australia, from Port Fairy to Port Hedland, returned no feature at all; the same names in capitals returned the LOCALITY record for every one of them.
Done: The resolver now asks for both spellings and files the feature type it used. All hundred towns carry gazetteer coordinates; none of them has a level gauge and the pages say so.

Dee Lagoon and the South Esk had the wrong Tasmanian season, and five lakes were described with the wrong fishing methods.
Checked against: The Tasmanian Inland Fishing Code 2026-27 and 2025-26, water by water, while adding the hydro lakes of Phase 2 batch 4 on 24 September 2026
Found: Dee Lagoon is a designated rainbow trout water, open from 3 October 2026, but its page read open under the brown trout season. The South Esk below Avoca, which includes our Llewellyn and Perth reaches, is an extended-season water that closes on 30 May 2027, not 2 May. The pages for Dee, Bronte, Sorell, Crescent and Pedder mentioned bait, where the Code allows artificial lure and fly only, and Penstock Lagoon is fly only, not fly and lure.
Done: Two new rules, the designated rainbow waters and the extended-season waters, are computed from the Code and checked against both published years. The three pages now carry them, and the six descriptions state the method each water actually allows.

Eighteen of the hundred Phase 2 batch 4 waters have a Bureau gauge that no longer reports to Water Data Online.
Checked against: The level series of every station chosen for batch 4, read from Water Data Online on 24 September 2026 over the last thirty days
Found: Cooby Dam’s storage series had not updated since 7 September, and seventeen river and lake stations, from the Lachlan at Hillston to the Warren at Pemberton, returned nothing recent at all. Three Queensland storage stations also carry coordinates that place them in the Pacific Ocean.
Done: The eighteen waters are published without a level chart, and each page says why. The three dams take their coordinates from the Composite Gazetteer instead of the station record. Every other water in the batch reads a series verified by id, and the access to each storage was checked against the agency that manages it before the page was written.

Lenthalls Dam publishes no storage level series; the page reads the headwater watercourse gauge.
Checked against: The Bureau of Meteorology Water Data Online time-series list for station 137303A (Lenthalls Dam HW) while building the storage batch of Phase 2
Found: The station carries a Water Course Level series at the dam headwater and a Storage Volume series, but no Storage Level series; Callide Dam and Ross River Dam had the same gap at one station and a proper storage level series at the dam-wall station, which is the one now used.
Done: Lake Lenthall reads the headwater watercourse level and the storage volume, and says so on the page and in this log. Callide reads station 130314C and Ross River Dam station 532020A. Every other storage in the batch has its Storage Level series verified by time-series id.

Season dates are calculated from each agency’s rule and checked against two published years before they appear.
Checked against: DPIRD NSW summary of freshwater closures and its 2024, 2025 and 2026 trout releases; the Victorian Fisheries Authority trout and Murray cod pages and its 2018 release; Queensland DPI tidal and freshwater closed seasons; the Inland Fisheries Service season dates for 2025-26 and 2026-27; PIRSA snapper management; DPIRD WA demersal reforms, all read on 23 September 2026
Found: Every trout closure in New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania is written as a day of the week (the Tuesday after the June long weekend, the first Saturday of August, the Sunday nearest 30 April), so a copied date is right for one year only. South Australia’s snapper closure has a fixed end date, 30 June 2027, and Western Australia’s West Coast demersal closure has none: “spring 2027”.
Done: The rules live as rules and are computed for the year shown; the checker refuses a rule whose computed dates differ from the two years the agency published (13 rules, 19 dates). A species with no published closure shows nothing, because not published is not the same as open. Western Australia’s page shows “closed, no reopening date” rather than a guessed date.

Twelve Phase 1b entities resolved to a parish, a survey marker or a locality instead of the water.
Checked against: The Composite Gazetteer of Australia while adding the 86 Phase 1b entities
Found: Name matching put Maroochy, Burrill, Shoalhaven and Tuross on parish records, Umina on a survey marker, and Burrinjuck, Wyangala, Googong, Copeton, St Georges Basin, Lake Conjola and Lake St Clair on the locality rather than the storage or the basin; the Glenelg River matched a point far inland from the estuary people fish.
Done: Each was re-resolved to the gazetteer’s WATERCOURSE, LAKE, RESERVOIR, LAGOON or BASIN feature, and the Glenelg to its estuary at Nelson; the feature used is recorded on every entity. Lake St Clair in New South Wales is the Glennies Creek storage and is not the Tasmanian lake of the same name.

Checked against: The Bureau of Meteorology Water Data Online station and time-series lists for Lake Monduran, Lake Wendouree and Lake Mulwala
Found: Searching by the lake’s name found nothing for Lake Monduran, Lake Wendouree and Lake Mulwala. Searching the station list by the dam’s name found Lake Monduran as Fred Haigh Dam (135009A) and Lake Mulwala as Yarrawonga Weir (sp-o10814), both with a storage level series; Lake Wendouree has none.
Done: Monduran and Mulwala now read their level from those stations, verified by time-series id. Lake Wendouree says “no live gauge on this water” and shows no chart. Lesson recorded: search the Bureau’s list by the dam as well as the lake.
