CatchSignal

CatchSignal is a fishing journal and local angling community built for anglers who want to remember every trip without giving away their favorite fishing spots.

Whether you fish lakes, rivers, reservoirs, or streams, CatchSignal gives you one place to log catches, organize your fishing history, follow local activity, and control exactly what location information you share.

LOG EVERY CATCH

Save the details that matter to you, including:

• Species
• Catch photos
• Length and weight
• Waterbody
• Date and time
• Fishing method
• Lure or bait
• Water depth and temperature
• Kept or released status
• Personal notes

CatchSignal helps turn scattered photos and memories into an organized fishing record you can review throughout the season.

BUILD YOUR PRIVATE FISHING JOURNAL

Your Journal keeps your catches organized by waterbody, species, and season. Review previous trips, revisit photos, and look for patterns in your fishing over time.

Your fishing record becomes more useful with every catch you log.

FOLLOW LOCAL WATERS AND ANGLERS

Follow anglers, lakes, and rivers to see relevant fishing activity in one place.

CatchSignal is focused on anglers in the Spokane / CDA area and the surrounding Inland Northwest, including North Idaho, Eastern Washington, and Western Montana.

You can follow:

• Anglers you know
• Lakes and reservoirs
• Rivers and streams
• Recent catch activity
• Comments and community updates

CONTROL YOUR CATCH LOCATION

You decide how much location information is shared for every catch.

Choose from:

• Private — Only you can view the catch location
• Waterbody only — Share the lake or river without sharing the spot
• Approximate area — Show a nearby generalized area instead of the exact point
• Exact location — Share the selected location publicly

Exact coordinates remain hidden unless you deliberately choose to share them.

Your saved privacy preference can be used as the default for future catches, while still allowing you to change the setting for an individual catch.

PARTICIPATE YOUR WAY

CatchSignal can be used as a private fishing journal or as a community experience.

You can:

• Comment on catches
• Follow anglers and waters
• Maintain a public or private profile
• Track rewards and milestones

• Keep your entire fishing history private

Your email address is never displayed publicly.
