Scrape fishing regulations across US states โ€” bag limits, size limits, season dates, gear restrictions, and special rules per species. Normalizes state DNR data into a single schema for fishing apps, AI angling assistants, and outdoor media.

What It Does

This actor aggregates fishing regulation data published by state Fish & Wildlife agencies across the US. For each state, it:

  • Identifies regulation chapters by species or water type (freshwater, saltwater, anadromous)
  • Extracts per-species rules including season dates, daily bag limits, size limits, gear restrictions, and special rules
  • Normalizes the data into a unified flat schema across all 50 states

Data is sourced from eRegulations.com, an official regulation publisher serving 30+ state agencies, ensuring up-to-date and authoritative regulation content.

Supported States (v1 Seed)

The default run covers the 10 highest-demand states by search volume:
