Experience a new way to fish

This app has it all for us anglers rafters that need quick access to public vs private land/ boat ramps when planning our next fishing trip. Also really important info like guide shops, gauges, and licensing needs. It’s also great for when I get to a new river that unexpectedly has bad conditions so I whip the app out and look out for nearby public access elsewhere!
This app is easy to navigate and very useful. I really enjoy the public vs private land feature. It makes you feel confident on the water when accessing fishing spots. I also enjoy all river information is in one spot and even gives you the closest fly shop. Overall incredible app and can’t wait to continue to use it and tell others.
Awesome product. I’ve always purchased expensive laminated maps in fly shops when floating new rivers. Now all the information is in one, easy to access location that is constantly updated updated with current river conditions. Especially useful when floating a new river to see exactly how many miles to your take out. No more second guessing where we are when I could be focusing on the fish!
