Exceptional information

What’s not to love about accurate, up to date, water gages on your home waters to back country streams? My favorite pastime is charting trips with the public lands map and referring to the hatch charts so I know what to throw as far as matching the hatch, the right water temps for my favorite big hatches and likelihood of other species later on that day, it’s a wealth of knowledge that I don’t go fishing without!

hi there - if you could reach out to us we can see what the issue is. I don't believe you wrote in before posting this to find out why there are issues. Thanks!

Hard to scan flies/clunky

The scan feature doesn’t work with iPhone. It’s hard to identify flies in general. Better than a pocket guide but idk if I’d spend 30 bucks on it again
