Amazon Echo Is The Best New Fishing Expert
Nothing beats good advice when you’re looking for a great day of
fishing. Now, Utahns can simply ask a personal digital assistant
for some of the best advice from the state’s best experts. Today,
the Division of Wildlife Resources announced the launch of the Utah
Fishing Alexa skill for the Amazon Echo. The Alexa skill gives full
fishing reports for fishing spots across the state of Utah.
“It’s incredibly fun to play with,” said David Fletcher, Utah
Chief Technology Officer. “But then it becomes clear that it is a
great tool to learn about some of Utah’s best fishing holes.”
Utah Fishing will help anglers find the best fishing spots
across the state. The Alexa skill tells fisherman the status at the
Utah fishing spots, the conditions, bait that has been working, and
what species are biting. The reports are updated regularly by local
experts who have the best information.
“If you’ve ever had a friend that kept you up-to-date on fishing
hotspots, that’s what it’s like,” said Mike Fowlks, Division of
Wildlife Resources’ Interim Director. “Except you have all the
expertise of the DWR.”
To use the Alexa skill users simply:
- Tell Alexa to enable Utah Fishing
- Ask, “Alexa, open Utah Fishing.”
- Then say, “Alexa, what’s the fishing
report for Strawberry Reservoir?”
Or any of the 148 fishing spots cataloged in the Alexa
skill.
