Corrections

This is wrong.

Thirty-nine reviewed groups and seventy-four cues, drawn and written by people who are not standing in your river. Some of it will be wrong, and the drawings are the most likely place — they are authored illustrations, not photographs of your water.

There is no server behind this page, so this form does not submit anything. It assembles a report you can copy, save, or hand to your own mail client. That is deliberate: the alternative is a feedback endpoint, and an application that promises nothing leaves your device should not quietly grow one.

What kind of error is it?

A statement is factually wrongA size range, a life stage, a water type, a behaviour that does not match the animal.
Something important is missingA structure, a stage, a group, or a caveat that should be here and is not.
A drawing does not match the animalThe plates are authored, not photographed, so this is the most likely kind of error.
The wording is confusing or overclaimsAnything that reads as a promise about what is hatching right now.
Something is brokenA link, a layout, a control that does nothing.
Something is unusable for meContrast, focus order, a target too small, a label a screen reader does not read.

The statement you are disputing

Overview

For an angler the useful behaviour is vertical. Atlantic longfin adults are on the bottom by day and disperse up into the water column at night; young longfin live in the upper ten metres over water roughly fifty to a hundred and fifty metres deep. North of Cape Hatteras the longfin come inshore in spring and stay until late autumn, then move out to the shelf edge for winter — and off Massachusetts the big ones arrive first, in April and May, with the smaller ones following in summer. The Pacific market squid keeps a different calendar: it lives offshore and comes into shallow sandy water to spawn, usually April to October in central California and October to April or May in southern California.

(not stated)

WHAT IT SHOULD SAY
(not stated)

SOURCE
(none given)

Written locally. It contains only what the reporter typed — nothing was gathered automatically.

Pick a kind and write at least a sentence, and the report becomes worth sending.

Copying and saving work with no signal, and what you type is kept on this device until you send it or discard it. The support desk is a website and needs a connection.

What happens to it

Checked, or not used.

A correction changes the reference set only after it has been checked against a source. Where a claim cannot be supported either way, the entry loses the claim rather than gaining a hedge — an unsupported sentence removed is a better reference than an unsupported sentence qualified.
