The genre is the weekly fishing report done by the department of natural resources. This genre will be focusing on the five districts of Michigan and it will go into detail on what’s going on in the main fishing areas of each district. For example, it tells the fishing community what fish are in season and being caught.

The way the weekly fishing report is distributed is through the department of natural resources website. Multiple articles and radio stations often use the fishing report and distribute it to their audiences. Another way this is distributed throughout the community is that it’s shared among members to people who are looking for information when planning to go fishing.  A plus of this being distributed through other forms than just the DNR is it's able to reach a broader audience that would benefit from the information.

This is a great example of a fishing report it goes into important details right off the bat for the reader. They break it down into each district and work their way through what’s going on in the waterways. It tells us what fish are being caught and how they’re being caught and it also tells us about what inland lakes can be accessed with the amount of ice present.

The reason the department of natural resources puts out weekly fishing reports is because of the high demand from the sport fisherman around the state. It is also a way to grow a connection within the fishing community and in the DNR. The DNR is providing information to the public. It's important for the public to know this because fishermen depend on this type of data to better plan their activities.

This is another good example of a fishing report but some of the biggest constraints exhibited are just the pure amount of data that is needed for just one fishing report. The fishing report spans the entire state of Michigan and all the heavily fished areas throughout. Another constraint is the audience because they can get disappointed with the results and blame you for what’s going on even though you’re just informing them.

This report is intended to give you an idea of what is going on around the state. Updates come from Fisheries staff and conservation officers. With more than 11,000 inland lakes, the Great Lakes and thousands of miles of rivers and streams, not all locations can be listed. However, it is safe to say if a species is being caught in some waters in the area, they are likely being caught in all waters in that section of the state that have that species.

The audience of this genre is the people who fish in Michigan and the connecting waterways. There are also many game fishermen who rely on the fishing report to help them have an understanding of what’s going on in the waters. People rely on the report to know about upcoming events such as what fish are in season and when special fishing weekends are such as a free fishing weekend.

The DNR collects all this data by taking input from creel clerks and analyzing fishing conditions and applying that to the next seven days. The Creel clerks gather information by weighing fish and taking samples. The DNR then publishes the information to and for the public.
