What's New in The Riffle

1.2

July 6, 2026

New in 1.2: • Known runs — famous named stretches on a river now show right on the map. Tap one to fish it or save it to your own list. • Mark your own runs — drop a pin on your exact spot, give it a name, and it's saved for next time so conditions read from that precise point. • Every section of the report now collapses, and the app remembers how you left it. • Added the Ottauquechee River in Vermont. • Fixed the status bar overlapping the top of the screen on some phones, and made live hatch reports post more reliably.

I downloaded this app and used it recently on a fly fishing trip to Maine with some great friends. Conditions change rapidly there, so the regularly updated information on weather, water flow and hatches was extremely helpful. We had a great trip and landed a bunch of salmon, trout and other fish using the recommended flies! Highly recommend.
