Experience a new way to fish

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!
At first I thought this app solely had river maps. But, after playing around with the app, I found lots of other useful features that ended up coming in handy on the river. The river mileage, and distance tool was pretty cool, as you never really know the exact mileage from different boats ramps and such. Looking forward to see how it develops.
The app is beautiful I love the images displayed when your looking for certain waters. Also a really cool feature is the ability to save a map of the river you found offline, this is super useful when out in the backcountry with zero reception. I highly recommend this app for fishermen as we are constantly looking for new places to fish!!!
