Jurisdiction decides the licence, the regulation booklet and who you call when a check cannot be cleared. It is the first geographic question worth asking.
A schematic of jurisdictions, not a chart of positions — one square per state, province and territory, carrying the number of named public waters held there. Geography is given at the resolution a decision is made at: which jurisdiction governs, and what else is nearby. A named public water is located to about a hundred metres, which tells you the basin and nothing about where the fish are. Fishing spots, access detail and private water are not in the catalog.
