Hatchpedia vs Fishtechy

How long have you wished you could identify hatching insects while you're still fishing? Now you can! Hatchpedia is Your Pocket Entomologist. Hatchpedia makes precisely identifying hatching insects fast and easy. Our patent-pending search technology lets you describe the bugs that you are seeing using your own words. It's like a pocket-sized aquatic entomologist that speaks your language. BACKCOUNTRY-READY Hatchpedia is completely functional with no cell service or internet, with a grace period of up to 2 weeks past your next subscription renewal date. You will never need to scramble up a hill hoping to find a bar or two of cell service - heck, you won't even have to leave the water no matter where your adventures take you. SEARCH BY EXAMPLE Sometimes words are hard. Use our graphical Search by Example feature to build up search phrases that describe the bug that you see. CURATED PHOTOS OF ALL PHASES Hatchpedia has photos of all of the phases of the bugs' lifecycles that are important to trout. We've pored over thousands of photos and painstakingly selected over 1,000 photos that we have licensed to help you identify the bug you are seeing with the greatest certainty possible. DETAILED INFORMATION Every search result gives you detailed information about the bug including: the common name, how confident we are in the search result and why, the complete taxonomy, the approximate size of the adult, what U.S. geographic regions it is known to hatch in, and the approximate dates that it hatches. In addition, every phase of every bug has a "Learn about this phase" feature that gives you a summary of the bug's lifecycle and details about the specific phase. FROM SIMPLE TO COMPLEX PHRASES Hatchpedia's search engine is custom-built and entomology-specific (patent pending). We support searches in your own words from very simple keywords to complex phrases. A very simple description of a bug might be simply 'upright wing' or 'upright wing 1/2 inch body', while a more complex description might be 'upright yellow mottled wing 12mm light yellow body 2 tails'. Our search feature doesn't require you to enter quotes or any other special characters as it works hard to figure out complex phrase combinations and match them against a huge database of entomological data with over 520 species that trout love to eat. USE CURRENT LOCATION AND/OR DATE Hatchpedia can use your current location and/or date to find bugs that are hatching around you *now*. PLAN TRIPS You can specify a region within the United States as well as a date in order to find bugs that will be hatching whenever and wherever your fishing trip will take you! HATCHPEDIA FREE You can also use Hatchpedia free of charge to learn more about the lifecycles and behaviors of the bugs that trout love to eat.

AI measures your catch's length, girth and estimated weight, identifies the species, and creates a private digital journal — all in seconds. Proof, Not Guesswork No board, no tape, no guessing. A Proof Ball or Proof Bar in frame is all the app needs. Snap a photo or record a video and the numbers are waiting when you're done. Reduce Fish Handling Measure it. Release it. Faster. Less time out of the water means a healthier fish and a healthier fishery — a practical addition to any angler's gear, from bass boats to fly rods. The Most Accurate Way to Digitally Measure Fish Proof products give the AI a known dimension to measure against, so length and girth are verified measurements, not estimates. Weight is calculated from length and girth and always labeled as an estimate. Used correctly, nothing on your phone measures a fish more accurately. Support Conservation Every catch can count for science — only if you say so. Choose to share your catch data anonymously, without precise location, with vetted fisheries science organizations like NOAA to help protect the waters you fish. Never automatic, and you can withdraw at any time. Digital Journal & Automatic Species ID AI identifies your fish and logs species, size, location, time and weather to a private digital journal and map of your catches. No manual data entry. All your catch data in one place. Online Contests & Challenges Create or join fishing tournaments using your real catches. Compete privately with friends or publicly with anglers around the world. Catches can be scored as a percent of their world record, so you can compete fairly even when you're catching different species. Real catches. Digital leaderboards. For Your Whole Trip Fishtechy’s Story Mode tracks your entire trip, including miles walked or floated, a map of your route, elevation gained, and fish caught along the way. Track the whole trip with the Fishtechy app Your Data, Your Call Your catch data stays under your control. Nothing is shared with scientists or anyone else without your explicit consent. The proof is in the ball. Download the free Fishtechy app today.
