What's New in DriftLogic
2.2
September 28, 2026
New data source for live river conditions. DriftLogic now reads USGS's new Water Data API, which keeps every gauge working after USGS retires its old service this winter. If a station's water temperature sensor goes quiet, you'll see when it last reported and the last temperature it posted instead of a blank tile. Quick retry when USGS is slow to answer. Seasonal messaging updated. Steelhead can show up early on September rain, so the app no longer tells you they've left for the summer.
