Remember the info is posted by a government agency. As with anything government related if they find something that works they will break it. In my ‘X-files’ gov’t conspiracy mind I believe that to keep receiving funds, thus maintaining their jobs, they need to always change things. In the private sector we call it “make-work”. I have never seen any other explanation. But I too long for the old days. I keep a computer fishing log. I would always check the river stats and include the data. Last year I got a little lazy and didn’t do this immediately, knowing I could do this over the winter. No such luck now it’s all from memory.
