fishing=yes/no ?


There is a tag leisure=fishing thats already being used
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:leisure%3Dfishing

Bit surprised by the lack of info on the wiki page. I'd have though 
someone would have drawn up proposals for a way to tag other info 
linked to fishing.
With regards to lawfulness of fishing I think it's a bit more 
complicated than yes/no? as pointed out in other emails


Even more surprising, I can't find tagging for a pond or pool, fishery, 
you name it, that was fitted for fishing.

People come and pay for fishing (and the wife sits doing her knitting).

Let alone the wife's permission ;-)

Is a map really a good place for a *general* fishing information (database)?
Or is it website=www.local.reglations -> other www?

I think that website= is too often overlooked.
I asked JOSM to recall it in their Preset menus.

land (water?) owner *is* of course appropriate, if he agrees to be 
mentioned.


This all recalls me a Natural Science teacher.
- throw any animal in the water, it will come out
- not true
- [cut to the quick] what???
- not the fishes
He told everybody and laughed for 3 days.

permit alone seems too ambiguous, I'd go for fishing:permit or permit:fishing

-0.5, there might be cases where this is a useful information (could
be entered as free text in description or maybe note, or
fishing:license:description) but generally I think this is out of the
scope of OSM. We also don't tag on every highway where you can get
driving licenses ;-)

Cheers,

The tag might need additional qualifications, ie. species, sex, etc. For
example salmon season length, and even if there will be a season, depends
on the expected availability of the fish.

Recently someone posted the suggestion of linking to external databases for
this kind of dynamic information. I think that suggest has a lot of merit.
Not sure how the databases would be linked, but at a minimum, the website
of the official authority could be included.

Note that you may need to have both a government-issued fishing license and 
also permission from a landowner, depending upon where you are fishing.

[Tagging] Fishing allowed?

[teuxe]

Hi,

I would like to store information about the legality of fishing a lake, a 
river, etc.
Is there already any tag with such a meaning?
