A new mapping and information app, onWater, has a ridiculous amount of angling intel at your fingertips. Created for passionate anglers, the app has nearly everything you need, and nothing you don’t.
“Fly fishing anglers are curious and adventurous,” says Scott Carver, CEO and co-founder of the onWater App and fly fishing industry veteran. “There may be plenty of information out there for them to research and plan a fishing trip, but its scattered all over the place.”
With the app or website anglers can search hundreds of hand-curated digital maps. Satellite imagery 
provides GPS-specific points of interest and public vs private property boundaries. Using their mobile device, anglers can track their current location in relationship to property boundaries or calculate distances to any point of interest, including access points, boat ramps, campgrounds, river hazards, fly shops, and more.
The onWater app is available on iOS and Android for mobile devices and tablets, and for desktop via onwaterapp.com.
Each map is hand-curated by members of the onWater curation team. The maps contain a library of local resources every angler needs such as river descriptions, fishing reports, river flows, fly shops, local regulations, stream access laws, fishing license information, lodging, weather, and shuttle services. The onWater Bankside Blog is also home to news and events such as local river clean-ups, conservation issues, and more.
“Today’s anglers are looking for intelligent apps along with their favorite fly shop,” Carver says. “onWater’s highly detailed, angling-specific digital maps help anglers explore their water with confidence. No more worrying about whether you’re trespassing or how far the next boat ramp is. This app tracks it for you.”
”With Version 2.0 we’re just getting started”, adds Carver. “We are adding new waters every day. Our broader vision is to create a platform that connects and delivers value for all stakeholders in the fly fishing ecosystem, while promoting conservation and protection of our resources. Whether you’re an individual angler, outfitter, instructor, retailer, lodge owner, or product manufacturer, we want the entire fly fishing community to experience the benefits of onWater.”
