FishON! Pro combines live conditions from five federal data sources with your personal catch history to build a fishing intelligence system that's uniquely yours. LIVE CONDITIONS AT A GLANCE Link your fishing spots to USGS river gauges, Bureau of Reclamation sites, NOAA tide stations, NDBC buoys, and NWS weather stations. See flow, water temp, gage height, tide predictions, wave height, wind, barometric pressure, and multi-day forecasts — all in one place. YOUR SPOTS, YOUR WAY Save up to 5 fishing locations for free. Pin them on a map, organize by river and section, and set ideal conditions for each spot — preferred flow ranges by season, water temperature, tide stage, and more. SMART RATINGS FishON! Pro compares current conditions against your preferences to rate each location: Prime, Good, Fair, or Poor. Open the app and instantly see where to fish today. CATCH JOURNAL WITH CONDITIONS SNAPSHOTS Log a catch and the app automatically records every available data point — flow, trend, water temp, weather, tides, waves — at that exact moment. Over time, your catch history reveals the conditions that produce results for you. FIELD OBSERVATIONS & TRIP REPORTS Note hatches, water clarity, crowding, and other on-the-water intel.
