Instantly report lake ice conditions at your current GPS location to other fisherman. Ice Report makes it easier to distribute information about lake ice thicknesses during the ice fishing season in Northern climates. Without this app users are left to scour the internet for forums or groups to get a report on ice for fishing. On the flip side, avid fisherman and resorts who help the community by reporting ice conditions can now post it for everyone to see. New reports are dark in color. Any report older than 3 days will be marked light in color. Ice Report defaults to showing reports made in the last 7 days. To use Ice Report simply login and check out the map. Keep in mind the Display Name you choose will be visible to other anglers. If you are out fishing, feel free to submit a report by pressing the + sign and selecting the ice thickness you measured at that location. The app uses your current GPS location, so please only submit reports while you are fishing. Premium users can place icons without GPS. If the report is in the wrong spot, select your report, then press the Delete button. Use the calendar icon to view reports submitted within a date range. The lake ice data is submitted by users and there is no guarantee of accuracy. Ice Report encourages every one to be safe on frozen lakes. Check with your local Department of Natural resources for safety information. This app uses Google Maps for iOS.

Spend less time guessing and more time catching. FishCondish provides detail on all the conditions that move fish - wind, tide, pressure, water temp, and moon. The app also scans local reports for real-time bite forecasts and lure/fly/hatch suggestions. Works for any spot in the US or Canada - freshwater or salt. WHAT YOU GET • Wind you can trust. Three forecast models (GFS, ECMWF, ICON) compared side by side, leading with how much they agree — so you know how confident the forecast really is. • Tides & water. Smooth tide curves, high/low times, a nearest-station picker, water temperature, waves, and current for coastal spots. • Rivers & lakes. Live USGS river gauges with flow (CFS), gage height, and trend for the freshwater crowd. • Local Bite Report. Scans recent public fishing reports near you and blends them with seasonal patterns to tell you what's working now — with links to the sources it used. • Fishing score, explained. A 1–10 score for your spot and time, with a plain-English breakdown of every factor pushing it up or down — so you learn why, not just what. • Best time to fish. An hour-by-hour timeline highlighting the day's prime feeding windows, plus a 7-day outlook for planning ahead. • AI fishing guide. A quick, conditions-aware rundown of what to target and how, written for your exact spot and day. • Species bite forecast. See which species are active right now, coastal or inland, with bait, lure, and technique tips for each. • Solunar feeding periods, sunrise and sunset, moon phase, and barometric pressure trend. • Your catch log. Record catches with an automatic snapshot of the conditions, and spot your own patterns over time. • Save your spots, switch between °F and °C, and fish day or night with a clean dark mode. Made for anglers - working the surf, drifting a bay, or wading a river. Always check your current local regulations.
