About Readiness Scores
Our Readiness Score (0-100) helps you assess fishing conditions at a glance. Here's how we calculate it:
Freshness (25 pts)
How recent is the data? Fresher data = higher score.
Coverage (25 pts)
More water quality parameters = better assessment.
Dissolved Oxygen (20 pts)
Critical for fish health. 8+ mg/L is excellent.
pH Level (10 pts)
Most fish prefer 6.5-8.5 pH range.
Temperature (10 pts)
Affects fish activity and species present.
Bacteria (10 pts)
E.coli levels for angler safety.
