What's New in BetterFish

1.1

September 14, 2026

New since version 1.0: • Search the coast by place or area, such as Barkley Sound or Area 19, and pick species and fishing method in advanced search. • Tidal areas have a Spearfishing card, a Local closures card, and Rockfish Conservation Areas that list what is still allowed inside. • Salmon cards list every season for the year. • Clearer regulation cards that lead with what you can keep. • On iPad, map panels open beside the map instead of covering it. • Coastal boat launches checked and corrected. • Crash fixes, plus steadier offline map downloads and account backup.

The best fishing app

I am so impressed with this app—the best fishing app I have seen. Very comprehensive but also easy to navigate and very accessible. My favourites are the camping and boat launch “layers.” If you are planning a fishing holiday, or a holiday that includes fishing, everything you need is here. Highly recommended!

Love this app

So glad someone finally made an app that covers freshwater regs, this makes it so much easier to know what I can fish. All the other stuff is super handy too.
