What every section keeps separate Depth provenance: each child discloses whether its contours are survey-backed or modeled; a family card never upgrades that label.Fishing spots: structure and seasonal recommendations are calculated inside the child boundary so distant reaches are not mixed together.Fish species: each page keeps its own supported roster rather than inheriting every species found anywhere in the parent system.Local context: hatch guidance, access, hazards, catches and nearby-water links continue to resolve for the individual child where data is available.
