We have found so many amazing new places to snag trout that we didn’t know about! Excited about the community and chat functions coming out to connect with more local anglers! **Developer response:** Thank you for taking time to review our app and for the positive words about it. Glad it’s been helping you find some new places to fish! ### 5/5 — Solid app. *2024-07-28* Owner of App is incredibly passionate about helping anglers and ensuring the app is beneficial to both anglers and our natural resources. I appreciate the quick response when I had questions or concerns when initially using the app **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We are working with local shops and other state programs to utilize our platform to share the importance of catch and release fishing, proper handling and resource conservation as we grow and develop the app. We will be able to utilize aspects of the app such as the in-built community to continue to spread important messaging about protecting the fisheries, proper handling techniques like keeping fish wet and much more. Had the app not been created by avid anglers, I would be far more concerned about it but we have spent over 5 years carefully building this up the right way. We will continue to partner and do our part to raise awareness of these amazing wild fish, and wild places we all love. ### 5/5 — Great tool for every angler! *2024-07-23* I’m super happy with the app and the detailed information it provides. It’s even been helpful on my local waters that I have been fishing for decades. I haven’t had the chance to use it outside of my state but have no doubt it will help me find new waters to explore. **Developer response:** Thanks so much for taking time to comment and for the encouraging feedback! We hope you find it useful in your upcoming fishing adventures. ### 5/5 — Game Changer in The Fly Fishing Community! *2024-07-06* This app is working amazingly! It’s such a cool tool and I’ve messed with it a bit after the team found out an issue I was having with the software and quickly found the solution. In the past I used trout routes and bought the premium subscription for it last year, but this is definitely a much better app and is way less confusing to use (especially with the premium subscription!) as I’ve found trout routes to be buggy sometimes. The FlyFishFinder team has made an amazing app and I’ll forever be using it for my future trips. Y’all are awesome! What else could a seasoned fly fisher ask for? **Developer response:** Thanks! We are very glad to hear the app is performant and to hear you'll be using it on all your future fishing trips! ### 5/5 — These guys are awesome and dedicated *2024-07-03, version 1.0.2* These guys are awesome and dedicated, and developed a product to match! I’ve got this app in use everytime I plan a day! ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2024-07-02* Awesome app. Simple to use, full of useful information like water flows, regulations, and more. I like how you can pin multiple spots to save for later. Definitely recommending this to others. **Developer response:** Pumped to hear the features are helping you on your fishing trips. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review for us! ### 5/5 — A fisherman’s dream *2024-07-02, version 1.0.2* This app is a must for any person who fishes. The app is amazing! ### 5/5 — Slick User Interface *2024-06-23* Fly Fish Finder is an app that every fisherman or even outdoor person should download. I love the various options that are available for use and I can’t wait until they come out with their community services. I am also a long time user of OnX Hunt and I honestly think Fly Fish Finder has a better user interface and is easier to use altogether. I can’t wait to see how they continue to develop this app! **Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words, and glad to hear the user interface is easy to use. We were very intentional in testing and designing it! ### 5/5 — More than Any Other Fly Fishing App *2024-06-20* Wow! These guys are on to something. This is so much more than just a river locator! What an awesome app and a refreshing alternative to all the others not meeting the needs of an angler outside of recommendations on where to go. **Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words! We are glad to hear that the app is going above and beyond what you expected. Plenty more updates for anglers on the way, big things coming! ### 5/5 — Utah Troutfitters *2024-06-20, version 1.0.2* Amazing App! ### 5/5 — True Fly Anglers App *2024-06-16, version 1.0.2* This app is a really cool concept. I love how the Pro maps have all the data attached in a single place. Pumped to see where this goes as I know it’s early for them. ### 5/5 — Best Fly Fishing App out there: I feel apart of the community *2024-06-15* As a Fly Fishing Guide, FlyFishFinder is genuinely my tool for all the information I need, day-in and day-out. This data driven app is super accurate and up-to-date. Having a community aspect to FFF, allows me to consistently learn and rethink my approach to every species I approach with a fly rod! If you want the most comprehensive app to use to not only gather information but become a part of community, FlyFishFinder is the tool for you!👊 **Developer response:** Thank you! We are pumped to release these added features this summer and glad the app is exceeding expectations! ### 5/5 — Versatile App Designed for Fly Fishing *2024-06-13, version 1.0.2* This app is a must have in every fly fisherman’s arsenal. It allows anglers to explore more fisheries and up their game, as well as connect with others in the community. ### 5/5 — Sweet stuff *2024-06-13* Stumbled on this app looking for new fishing areas nearby. Found some public access I didn’t know existed. I tried a couple other apps but they were only trout fishing so this one has a lot more water to explore. Keep it rolling! **Developer response:** Thank you! ### 5/5 — AMAZING for anglers of all experience levels *2024-06-13* I just got the app and I love how easy it is to find new spots! I found a spot nearby so my son and I went fishing right away. The app has a lot of great features and it looks like they’ll be releasing even more soon. Our family loves to fish so we went for the premium version and we’re loving it so far! Can’t recommend it enough! **Developer response:** Love to hear you found some spots to take your son fishing within the app! We have lake piers, boat ramps and river access all within our maps across most states! Enjoy! ### 5/5 — Great app and great people *2024-06-12* Flyfish finder is a great new app that has allowed me to not only find new water but also connect with fellow anglers. This app is a game changer for both new and experienced fishers alike. Gonna be putting a lot of miles in this summer thanks to this new app! **Developer response:** Glad to hear the features are working well for your needs! ### 5/5 — Unique App *2024-06-08* I have been searching for an app that has a bit of everything. I’m a newer angler so finding spots with the map is great. I’m also interested in finding a few people in my area to fish with as I don’t have a large personal network so I look forward to seeing that part of the app when it’s fully released. Keep up with the good work! **Developer response:** Can't wait to drop these new features. Thanks for the generous review! ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2024-06-04, version 1.0.1* What an incredible app. I can see that a lot of time went into developing this. Looking forward to seeing this evolving over time. Thank you. ### 5/5 — The Key to unlocking the fly fishing code is here! *2024-06-04, version 1.0.1* Wow! Finally a resource for fishing like no other. This is going to open so many doors for me and my family. From learning new spots to connecting in this new community to learn from each other. Thank you to Fly FishFinder for creating this! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Blatant hot spotting *2024-07-27* Another app that takes hot spotting small, wild trout streams to another level. Created by a bunch of anglers who should know better but would rather make a few thousand bucks at the expense of natural resources ### 5/5 — Best all around *2026-06-18, version 1.4.7* If you’re looking for a fly fishing app that isn’t exclusive to trout, this is for you. ### 5/5 — 5.0 *2025-02-11* Very helpful when planning out where to go on my next trip. A ton of accessibility and options to get a great feel for the river before you get there. **Developer response:** Really appreciate this feedback, thanks for taking time to review! Let us know if you have feature requests in the future! ### 5/5 — The best app for fly anglers *2024-12-19* FlyFishFinder is for the fly fishing community what OnX is to hunters, and a whole lot more. It’s the best way to pull all the data you need to plan your trips and find new water: property maps, access points, gauge data, local shops to help you out if you forget your rod, and more. If you’ve been using anything else to help you find water, you’ll be blown away with how much more this brings you. On top of all that, I’m looking forward to the community feature thats coming soon. That’s something that will really help when exploring a new area or just looking for fishing partners. Especially when traveling or vacation angling! ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-12-09* Not only can you find new water systems I found out about a mile plus long stretch of this creek I’ve fished for years and never knew about. Has good map quality when you buy the pro version definitely worth 30$ for a year of finding new spots. **Developer response:** Awesome to hear you discovered some new stream sections! Thanks for the review ### 5/5 — Perfect for discovering new water *2024-11-21* Great tool for discovering new water and public access. You can filter by species which is not available on other apps that I’ve used. **Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, we really appreciate it! ### 5/5 — Huge Help on the Water *2024-11-15* Even with water I’m relatively familiar with this app been has a huge resource for me! When it comes to find new access spots, public land boundaries, and getting live up-to-date flow charts and weather forecasts, this app does it all. This information consolidated into one database has been beyond helpful when it comes to planning new trips and landing more fish. **Developer response:** Thanks for taking time to leave a review of FlyFishFinder, we greatly appreciate it! Hearing that the app has been a great resource is what keeps us motivated and pushing to make it even better. ### 5/5 — Great for finding new water *2024-09-23* I've fished locally for years and I can't believe the amount of water offerings I had no idea of within 2 hours that have access and or species I wasn't aware of. I've already started planning out my weekends. ### 5/5 — Game changing app for all species and fisherman *2024-09-12* Fly Fish Finder is an amazing new app that is a necessity for all anglers whether you fish twice a year or guide every day for anything from trout to musky. The ability to find new places to fish is now easier than ever with Fly Fish Finder as it not only shows rivers and lakes to fish, but shows access points and species, as well as a lot of other helpful information to scout out new water. You can also make a profile and will soon be able to connect with other anglers and guides to meet more people and advance your knowledge of fishing and the waters you fish or want to fish. There is also much more to come that will make Fly Fish Finder even better! I can’t recommend Fly Fish Finder enough and every angler should have and use it no matter what kind of angler you are! **Developer response:** Thanks for taking time to write up this kind review, we look forward to continuing to help you fish more water this year! We are building new features as we speak but are always game to hear how we can add specific tools to help anglers find more success. Feel free to reach out to andrew@flyfishfinder.com with any feedback. ### 5/5 — Great tool for fishing *2024-08-08, version 1.0.4* This is such a great app for fishing. I use it to find new spots for fishing locally but also love it when I travel. Great info and recommendations on an easy to use platform! ## Most praised reviews (1 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Helps me find new waters *2024-08-04* Map layers for Easement and Access Points have help me discover new areas I would have previously dismissed as inaccessible. Traveling to new areas or new states, the Pro version is helpful because it shows stream regulations so I can quickly assess what might be viable for my trip. This won’t make a better fly fisher, but it will definitely get me to new and interesting places and increase my enjoyment of the hobby! The app is a great way to combine data from various resources and streamline (no pun intended) my research of a new area. I use the app a lot when traveling with work or family to find what species might be in the area, what stream or river fishing options exist, stream gage data, and where a local shop might be able to provide assistance. Then I can quickly decide if the rod and fly box will be packed or left at home. And it makes it super easy to navigate to points of interest I find on the map. I like that I can create and organize my own private pins / waypoints. It makes it easy to make notes in planning or record notes about what conditions and hatches were on a trip. Additionally, the designer/ dev team have been super responsive. They’re working on some new features which will continue to elevate the experience and have a great web based tool as well. **Developer response:** Pumped to hear this is helping you out and thanks for the kind words! Finding new places and faces is what it's all about. Fish on! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
