Angler's Ally — Fishing Companion

Your complete fishing guide: species lookup, gear calculator, knots, conditions, and a catch log — all in one app that works without signal.

Know What's Biting Look up fish species by your ZIP code or current location. All 50 states covered with region-specific species, best seasons, habitat, and regulatory notes. No GPS? Browse the full Fish Almanac — 274 species with photos, habitat, peak months, and signature species badges for your region.

Dial In Your Setup The Gear Calculator scores any rod/reel/line/rig combination for your target species and explains why. Save your own rods, reels, and lines in My Gear and get instant recommendations matched to what you actually own.

Tie It Right 40 knots with step-by-step instructions and infographic guides. Strength ratings, best-use notes, and a searchable index so you can find the right knot fast.

Full Tackle Reference 158 entries across rods, reels, lines, hooks, baits, lures, jigs, rigs, weights, and floats. Each lure and bait includes a "How to Fish It" guide.

Track Your Catches Log fish with weight, length, tackle, location, and notes. The dashboard shows personal bests, top species, and monthly trends. Catches sync automatically across your devices via iCloud and export to JSON for your records.
