HatchMatch AI
Fly & Insect ID for Anglers
Only for iPhone
Free · In‑App Purchases
iPhone
Snap a photo of any bug or fly. Get an instant ID with confidence scores and matching patterns. Less time guessing, more time fishing.
Point your camera at a bug. Know what to tie on.
HatchMatch identifies mayflies, caddisflies, stoneflies, midges and other trout stream insects from a single photo, then recommends patterns that match. It reads the fly in your hand and the flies in your box too.
HOW IT WORKS
Point your camera at the bug on your sleeve, the fly in your hand, or your open fly box. HatchMatch identifies what it sees, shows how confident it is, and recommends matching patterns.
PICK THE RIG YOU'RE ACTUALLY FISHING
Nymph, dry fly, dry-dropper, euro, streamer or wet. Tap your setup and the advice follows it, with technique steps and common pairings. HatchMatch remembers your pick.
HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT KNOWS
Every identification carries a confidence score. Fly box scans show what was matched and what wasn't. When a detail isn't clear from your photo, the app leaves it out instead of guessing.
FEATURES
• Insect and fly identification from one photo. Mayflies, caddisflies, stoneflies, midges, terrestrials.
• Fly box scanner. Catalog your whole box from a single photo.
• Pattern recommendations with transparent confidence scores.
• Rig selector with technique steps and common pairings.
• Flies you have already identified show up on hatch results with your own photo.
• Built for the river. Fast, focused, no clutter.
WHO IT'S FOR
Built by a designer and angler from Northern California who had the gear but kept guessing at the hatch. Whether you're new to fly fishing or have decades on the water, HatchMatch closes the gap between "what is that?" and "I'll tie this on."
