Tap a lake or river. See what applies today.

Pick any lake, river or stream and see today's fishing rules, the weather, sunrise and sunset, and your catches there, all in one place. Change the day or turn on map layers and everything updates.

  • A rule card reading closed to steelhead, naming the stretch of river it covers and the dates it runs between

    The Regulations

    What applies today

    Retention limits, gear restrictions and closures for the water and the date you picked, each card naming the stretch it covers.

  • The conditions panel showing 17 degrees and overcast, wind 7 km/h SSE gusting 23, humidity 49 percent and pressure 955 hPa

    Conditions

    Weather on the water itself

    Temperature, wind, humidity and pressure for the water in front of you, beside its rules rather than in another app.

  • The map over central Vancouver Island with catch markers pinned at Stamp River, Cowichan Lake and two more waters, among the fishing-area badges

    Catch Log

    Every fish, and where you caught it

    Each water lists what you have logged there, with the date, the size and whatever you wrote down. Switch the layer on and the whole log appears on the map, pinned where you made it.

  • The solar information panel listing morning civil twilight 6:24am, sunrise 6:57am, sunset 7:06pm, evening civil twilight 7:39pm, and four solunar periods

    Info

    First light to last light

    Civil twilight both ends, sunrise and sunset, in the water's own timezone, because a province is not always one. The solunar periods come with Pro.

  • An Other times of year card on a water panel, listing two rules that are not in force today - the Region 1 summer closure from July 15 through August 31, and a closure on the Oyster River above the Little Oyster confluence from December 1 through June 30

    The date

    Change the day, change the answer

    Every rule is resolved for the date you picked, not for the season in general. What is out of season is listed separately with the dates it runs between, so a trip months away is as clear as today.

  • The Layers drawer open on the map, listing the weather and map layers that can be switched on and off

    Map layers

    Turn on what you need

    Your catches, area badges, the frame around the water you picked and, with Pro, the weather - each one a switch in the Layers drawer.

  • The mode switcher at the top of the map reading Freshwater, Salmon and Tidal with Freshwater selected, beside the Layers, Spot Check and Legend controls, over Cowichan Lake

    Fishery modes

    Three fisheries, three maps

    Switch between Freshwater, Salmon and Tidal and the map changes with you: management units and area badges for freshwater, the rivers and their fishery notices for salmon, management subareas and the Rockfish Conservation Areas for tidal. Each mode draws what that fishery is actually regulated by.

    Spot Check · Pro

    Conditions for a spot, not just a water

    Tap anywhere on the map - a bay, a bend, a beach with no name - and get the low-light windows, pressure trend, wind, cloud and solunar periods for that exact point.

MAP

Every province and territory. BC's regulations, water by water.

160,062 rivers and lakes, in every province and territory. Across British Columbia every water is colour-coded by how it stands that day and searchable by name; everywhere else in Canada the water is drawn, named and tappable, and tells you which province it is in.

AREA SCAN · PRO

Dozens of waters, read in one glance.

Every fishing area on the map carries a ring showing how many of its waters have their own specific rules that day. With Pro, Area Scan opens the full list inside, grouped the same way, including the waters that only flow through.

The Spot Check panel open over Cowichan Lake, headed by low-light windows of 6:36 to 8:36am and 5:31 to 7:31pm, then 12 degrees and clear with 10 km/h SSE wind, pressure up 1.7 hPa and 163 m elevation, an hourly strip with the low-light hours picked out, and first light, sunrise, sunset, moon and solunar periods below.

SPOT CHECK · PRO

Conditions for anywhere you can tap.

Not every spot is a named water. With Pro, tap any point on the map and you'll get the low-light windows around sunrise and sunset, the pressure trend, wind, cloud, elevation and the solunar periods - for exactly where you tapped.

Your Year of Fishing, with Pro, adds what the log adds up to: personal bests, your longest of each species, your top waters, and a year of activity in one chart. Private to your account, never sold.

Two Island lakes side by side in a Pro Shortlist for Wednesday October 14. Cowichan Lake has 3 of its 5 rules in force, the rest out of season: a cutthroat trout retention limit of 2 fish 50 cm or shorter, and two boat speed limits. Elk Lake has all 6: a smallmouth bass retention limit of 4, a 7.5 kW motor power limit, stretches where boats and powered boats are not allowed, and two more. Below them the day's weather - heavy drizzle at 12 to 16 degrees on Cowichan, light drizzle at 9 to 15 on Elk - and the sunrise and sunset for each.
Two Island lakes for one day, on Pro. Same date, different rules, different weather.
SHORTLIST

Line up your Shortlist and see what separates them.

Put two waters side by side for a day you choose and see what applies on each. Rows where every water matches go quiet so the differences are what you see. Pro holds up to eight, and adds what the weather is doing, when the low light falls, how high they sit, and how each has fished for you before.

Your waters

Follow your waters, and know when they change.

Free keeps the list and tells you when the rules on it change. Pro works across all of it.

  • Follow and Pin · Rule Watch

    Every water you fish, a tap away

    Follow every water you fish and pin every launch and shoreline mark, with no limits on Free. Rule Watch tells you in the app when a water you follow gets a rule change or an in-season closure.

  • Today on Your Waters · Pro

    What's in effect, and what's next

    Every water you follow in one view: notices in effect first, then rules and salmon seasons starting or ending in the next two weeks.

  • Notice Board · Pro

    In-season notices, on every water

    In-season closures and notices across all waters, not just the ones you follow.

Go fishing.
