Tap Fish nearby at the top of any page. It asks for your location once, in the browser; your position isn't sent to us. If you'd rather not share it, pick a city instead: each city page lists destinations within about six hours' drive, nearest first.

On the home page, open Find a trip that fits my day. Pick where you start, how many hours you have and how long you want on the water, and it keeps only the places that fit. Drive times have no live traffic, so leave some slack.

On Destinations, filter by species, month, budget and region, or switch to the map or calendar view. Filters stay in the address, so you can bookmark or share a search. Add up to three places to Compare to see them side by side.

When to go shows every destination's best months in one grid. For what's happening right now, Fishing reports has each place's latest local report in one line, with flow and outlook.

This weekend ranks the places likely to fish well on Saturday and Sunday, from flow forecasts, the weekend weather and shop reports, with the reasons and drive times from your city. Early in the week it's an early look; from Thursday it firms up.

What changed lists the last 30 days of flows coming back into shape, shop reports, stockings, closures and guide-rate changes, newest first. Filter it by state or kind.

Prices are per angler for a full guided day with two sharing, worked out from each outfitter's own published quote, which is shown beside it. Crowding, difficulty and access are editorial calls. Nothing on the site is paid for. The full method is on About.

Stream colors show the water type (stocked, wild and so on; it varies by state). Full-color stretches run along mapped public land; dimmed ones have none recorded beside them. Green areas are public land, and the P markers are parking. Open Legend & map details under any map for that state's own key.

A highlighted bank is not permission to fish or cross land. Check signs and the state's rules; each map's How to read this map notes say where its data comes from.

Tap Layers on the map. Choose Map, Satellite or Topo under Background, and turn water types, public land, parking and river gauges on or off.

Type its name in Find a stream, or open Filters to narrow by county, species, public stretches only, fishable flow now or stocked in the last 14 days. Streams switches the map to a sortable list.

Full screen (or the F key) gives the map the whole screen; Esc or the × brings the page back. Reset view zooms out to the whole state.

Each diamond is a river gauge, colored by its flow against what's normal for that date: low, below, normal, above or high. Gray means no recent reading. On waters with a fishing verdict, the colors switch to good, fair or poor for the day you pick.

It's a set of fixed rules, not a guess: the flow forecast, the last few days of flow, the weather, water temperature and any closure. Trout water from about 65°F reads "fish early", and from 68°F "too warm". It's a starting point; the local shop report usually knows more.

Readings come straight from the gauge's agency (USGS in the US) and show how old they are. A reading more than three hours old is grayed out and gets no verdict. A stream with no gauge of its own shows weather only; we don't borrow a reading from another river.

On a state map, tap a stream or a gauge to see air, flow and water temperature for that spot, with the next few days. You can show this as a small chip, a full strip or not at all under My water → Display.

There's no app store download: add the site to your home screen and it opens full screen like an app. Steps for iPhone, Android and computers.

Rivers you save (♡) keep their page and latest conditions on the device. The last 60 pages you opened stay available too. Live flows, weather and search need a connection.

On the New Jersey and New York trout maps, zoom to the water you'll fish and tap Offline. It saves the map, streams and access points in view. Do it at home on Wi-Fi; more states are coming.

On the same two maps, On the water follows your GPS and tells you when you reach a stretch with special rules, when you seem to leave public land, and where the nearest parking is. It works with no signal inside a saved area. Keep the page open: browsers stop location once the screen locks. Your position stays on the phone.

No. Every map, forecast, gauge and comparison works without one, and saved rivers are kept in this browser. Sign in only to have them on your other devices.

Tap Sign in and enter your email; we send a six-digit code. There's no password to remember.

The journal logs the days you fished in a few taps and adds flow, water temperature and weather from the nearest gauge. You can also drop private pins for a pool or a parking spot. It needs an account, and only you can see it. A day logged with no signal is sent when you're back online.

Email alerts for saved rivers (flows back in range, a season opening, a closure) are being built. You can pick them on My water now; they start when they're ready.

Use the correction form at the bottom of that destination's page. We read every one and update the page when it checks out. A link to the source helps most.

Suggest it: species, best months and who guides it are enough to start.
