## What is Fishbyte?

Fishbyte is a fishing app for anglers who want better data, not another social feed. Hatch charts, real-time water temps and flows from live sensors, 3D, and offline maps for the rivers, lakes, and streams of the western US. No shared spots, no selling your data.

MATCH THE HATCH
See what the fish are eating right now. Fishbyte's hatch charts show what insects are active, then suggest the fly patterns to match, so you can arrive at the river informed and ready. Our charts are scientifically driven by live water temperature data from nearby sensors, not a static calendar, so they show what is actually happening on the water.

KNOW THE WATER BEFORE YOU GO
Check real-time flow rates and water temperatures from live sensors on rivers and lakes near you. Temps come with species-specific overlays, seasonal context, and 10 year averages, so you know if conditions are right for the fish you are after. If it's getting too hot to fish for trout, or too cold for bass, you can find out fast in the app.

FISH OFFLINE, ANYWHERE
The app was built to work without cell service. Download offline maps before you head out and have full functionality in the canyon, on the boat, or off the grid. Your saved points, species data, and tags stay available regardless of cell signal.

A MAP BUILT FOR ANGLERS
Explore detailed maps of lakes, rivers, streams, and creeks across the western US. See which species live in each waterbody, find public access sites with boat ramp info, and drop private points to mark the spots that matter. Organize them with tags and find them fast. Toggle the map to 3D to see topographic relief.

FILTER BY SPECIES
Chasing cutthroat? Walleye? Bass? Filter the map to highlight every waterbody where your target fish lives, or search any water by name.

YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
Your points are private. We do not track them, share them, or sell them. Period.

FISHBYTE PRO
Pro unlocks offline map downloads, species filtering, conditions forecasts, and Pro data layers. A Fishbyte account is required to use Pro.

CURRENT COVERAGE
Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona, and California. More states and data coming soon.

BUILT FOR EVERY ANGLER
Fly or spin, cold water or warm (salt coming soon). However you fish, Fishbyte is built to help you fish smarter. We are just getting started.
