## What is Ontario Stocked Lakes?

Every lake in Ontario, on your phone — and it all works with no signal.

Search 12,000+ Ontario lakes by species, name, town, or distance from you. Then check the rules, the depth, the access points and the eating advice before you load the truck.

WORKS WHERE YOU FISH
Lakes, stocking records, regulations and fish consumption advice are stored on your phone, not fetched from a server. Save the map before you leave and it keeps working at the end of a logging road with no data.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

• Find lakes — search by species, name, town, or distance. Sort by closest, most recently stocked, or most fish stocked.

• See the stocking record — species, numbers and year, going back through the province's history for that lake. Not just the latest drop.

• Check the rules — catch and possession limits for your Fisheries Management Zone from Ontario's 2026 regulation data, with waterbody exceptions flagged. Always links to the official summary.

• Read the water — per-lake depth contours from Ontario's bathymetry survey, in feet, plus topographic maps from Natural Resources Canada.

• Find your way in — fishing access points, boat launches, and directions.

• Know what's safe to eat — Ontario's fish consumption advice by species and fish length.

• Watch the weather — active Environment Canada alerts for the lake.

• See the lake report — stocking picture, sunrise/sunset, moon phase, and one-tap searches of Ontario fishing forums for recent reports.

• Log the trip — logbook with gear checklist, editable catches, GPS trail recording, and a twelve-icon spot-marking system. Metric or imperial.

• Keep it — saved lakes, trips and spots live on your device, with backup export in Settings.

BUILT ON OPEN DATA
Stocking, bathymetry, access points and Fisheries Management Zone data come from Ontario's open data under the Open Government Licence – Ontario. Weather alerts from Environment and Climate Change Canada. Map tiles from OpenStreetMap and Natural Resources Canada Toporama.

Not an official Government of Ontario application. Regulation data is a summary — always confirm current rules before you fish.

NO ACCOUNT, NO ADS, NO TRACKING
No sign-up, no server, no analytics. Location is used only when you ask and is never transmitted. Trips, catches and saved lakes never leave your phone.

Fully bilingual — English and French throughout, including the eating advice.

### 5/5 — Wow

*2026-09-06*

Where has this app been all my life. So many times I’ve gone fishing in new lakes completely blind to what’s in there. Not anymore.

### 5/5 — Best fishing app ever

*2026-09-02*

There is literally nothing like this available. This app allows you to search lakes, find stocked lakes, search by fish type, location, and by town. You can also plan a fishing trip and record your catches and you can even follow your “breadcrumbs” on a map. Especially handy in foggy weather. Love it!
