Yes, we already have fee and access which can cope with these things.
What we didn't have was an understanding in the US that such tags
were even applicable or that anyone might wish to map fishing
features on rivers, especially pools that don't "bulge" enough to
be obvious from aerial imagery but which are obvious from
detailed measurement (using, say, a rod, line and float) on
the ground.  The legislation affects the degree to which
such details become public knowledge.
