## What is Fishguide NRW?

Dear visitors, anglers and lovers of nature,
here it is – the North Rhine-Westphalian fishing app especially with all fishes occurring deep in the west of Germany!

With this application, a great product for angling has been developed in cooperation with the Fischereiverband Nordrhein-Westfalen e.V. (Association of North Rhine-Westphalian Fishermen). Now the fish appearing in North Rhine-Westfalian waters are also available digitally and always ready to hand – in German and in Englisch language.

Over 100 species, forms and varieties of the fish class are listed and explained and in addition all potentially occurring fish with the legal regulations.

Using notifications, interactive signal lights and as well as scales, the interested fisherman can quickly identify the current protection status.

Each fisherman can additionally and individually enter and compile the relevant closed seasons, protection landing sizes as well as catch limits of his target fish. Especially for the waters of own choice, own club, own home water...


Best regards and Petri Heil

### 1/5 — App Probleme

*2024-04-19*

Warum kann man beim Schonzeiten Alarm keine Fische drin sehen ist die App noch nicht ausgereift Mit freundlichen Grüßen

**Developer response:** Olle, der Fischführer ist technisch ausgereift.
Der Eintrag in der Liste der Schonzeitenalarme geschieht erst wenn vom Datum her das Ende oder der Beginn der Schonzeit gegeben ist.
Sie müssen zusätzlich den Alarm beim jeweiligen Fisch aktiviert haben (Button oben rechts) bzw. in den Einstellungen ihres Gerätes das Senden von Nachrichten der App erlaubt haben.
