My “go to” Fishing App

I’ve consistently used River Data for the last 8 years. I’ve tried many, but this app provides all the essential information around CFS, water temperatures, gauge height and turbidity. I literally do not head out on the water without checking the River Data first.

The information in this app have transformed the way I fish, the rivers I choose on any given day and how I plan before venturing out. Thank you River Data for providing a vital source of information to maximize my fishing experiences!!

Easy to use!

Easiest app to use to get access to all of USGS River gauges. I use it to monitor the flow and depth of my favorite kayaking and swimming holes.

Crashes immediately when pressing a state

This app crashes as soon as I try to select a state. It used to work. I don’t know what happened. It works OK on my iPad but not my phone
