What would you like your PC to do for Steelhead fishing?

Cabin fever is driving me crazy! 
So.... what if I learned some PC stuff (MS C# Visual Express) and developed some apps for people to use to help their Steelhead fishing?
Price... for the first 100 people to sign up... I'd give it away free.  For the slow pokes, $5.00  annual fee.
It would be nice if.... I could select some variables (creek, type of fishing, weather conditions, stream 's height/color, flies/bait, etc... then click and see the most likely places to fish.
OK!  Who's going to bring this to market?
Seriously!.... would you pay 5 bucks a year to have such a tool?
Maybe we could take it nationwide?
Anyon else as crazy as me and want to launch this?

    I'll pay you $5 to NOT do it.

    I don't always snag fish, but when I do...
    I choose Little Cleos

    I'm the best looking smartest snagging poacher alive...

    It cost like $3000 to maintain a website for this......the problem is local tackle shops will provide the info for free.

    How about you make a machine that will make steelhead taste like perch. That would be great.

    Nothing, as long as it doesn't get in the way of common sense. Actually I liked still's thought better or Mr slickfish's.  Cabin fever can be a bad thing I see. Take up woodworking or tie some sacs/flies till the water comes down. And take 2 aspirin and call me in the morning !    Dave

    I am a local and could care less.... but wouldn't this be considered "spot burning" on here?  If he's talking about the "most likely places to fish"
     
    And for the $5, i'll keep mine and put it in gas and just drive to the creeks and see for myself.  Nice idea, but i'm not lazy and don't need a computer to check on creek conditions.  Now, do you all want to pay me $5 a trip to Walnut.  I already know the answer, so what makes you think ppl would pay you for your "digital" conditions when I can drive 5 minutes and call them on the phone for free
