Great Fishing Resource

I was initially hesitant about using a fishing app but I’m happy this one exists. The free version is useful: having a curated view of every access point, boat ramp, fly shop, etc directly on my phone means I can plan trips faster. The My Waters dashboard they added recently has also been a game changer — I use it to keep a pulse on all of the live water conditions for my favorite rivers instead of individually checking them on the USGS site, and I have it set up so I get alerts when stream flows are in my ideal ranges. Their team is also really responsive to feedback about the in-app experience. There are a few things like the river measuring tool that are useful but more manual than I expected and it sounds like those are things they’re actively working on solving for. I’m stoked to see what this app will look like in a year’s time.

I have loved using this app. The distance calculator on the river is extremely valuable when floating sections I’m unfamiliar with. Also enjoy having the private and public land marked to make sure I’m not trespassing. I believe the app is providing maps and other information in a responsible way by keeping your own marked places and notes private to only you, and providing links to local fly shops and other local services who benefit from people using the app to contact them. I also appreciate their mission to support conservation efforts across the country. Keep up the good work onWater!
