Read the water
Follow flows, tides, weather, regulations, reports, runs, stocking, counts, and alerts for the waters you care about.
A unified fishing app for Pacific Northwest anglers.
Keep Fishing connects water conditions, maps, reports, private logs, trip plans, alerts, and fishing contacts in one private place.
Built because the pieces were scattered: gauges, tides, weather, reports, regulations, maps, runs, stocking, old notes, text threads, checklists, and fishing contacts.
- Conditions and reports: flows, tides, weather, regulations, runs, stocking, dam counts, hatchery reports, and creel counts where available.
- Private records: catches, scouting notes, blank trips, hazards, observations, and the conditions around them.
- Fishing contacts: partners, family, shuttle contacts, and trusted contacts — not a social network.
Why it exists
I wanted one private place for all of it.
The water I watch, the reports I check, the notes I keep, the trips I plan, and the contacts I rely on were spread across too many places. Keep Fishing brings those pieces together for Pacific Northwest anglers in one private fishing app.
Not a social feed.
Not a public spot map.
Not a black-box "go here" score.
A private fishing app for your conditions, notes, thresholds, plans, records, and fishing contacts.
How it comes together
The pieces that usually live in separate places.
Track changing conditions, keep the trip record, plan with less scrambling, and stay coordinated when you head out.
Keep the record
Log catches, blank trips, scouting notes, tips, hazards, and observations in a private record with the surrounding conditions attached.
Plan the trip
Use maps, saved waters, checklists, preferred ranges, and trip plans without piecing everything together across separate tools.
Fishing contacts
Keep private fishing contacts — partners, family, shuttle contacts, and trusted contacts — tied to the plans, routes, timing, and meet-up details that matter.
Conditions and reports
See what changed before you decide where to fish.
A good call starts before the truck is loaded. Keep Fishing brings together the changing inputs Pacific Northwest anglers already check across useful sources, without pretending coverage is the same everywhere.
- Rivers:
- Flows, gage height, water temperature, and turbidity where available.
- Tidewater & salt:
- Tides, currents, wind, pressure, and weather beside the rest of your plan.
- Runs & stocking:
- Run timing, stocking schedules, dam counts, fish passage, and hatchery reports where available.
- Reports & rules:
- Fishing reports, creel counts, regulations, and source updates where available.
Alerts
Watch saved waters against your own windows.
Preferred ranges make alerts personal: not a generic score, not a public hotspot signal, and not advice that replaces judgment. The app is built around the water and thresholds you care about.

Conditions and sources
A river coming back into shape.
Watch flow, temperature, turbidity, weather, reports, and your saved range together instead of rebuilding the picture from separate tabs. Source names and freshness stay visible where available, so a dropping river, tide window, or report update stays tied to the rest of the plan.

- back in range
- turbidity clearing
- tide window next up
- report updated
- range matched
Preferred ranges
Set your own condition ranges for each water.
A coastal river, tidewater, a trout lake, and a Columbia tributary do not fish the same way. Save the ranges you trust for each water, then watch for alerts when flow, temperature, height, turbidity, tide, weather, or relevant reports move into your window.

- tide window
- status due
- regulation update
Planning tools
Plan the trip.
Build plans and checklists around the way you actually fish, from watching conditions and packing gear to launching, floating, leaving the water, and getting back to the truck.

Map
Map conditions, saved waters, and private entries together.
View conditions, saved waters, private entries, scouting notes, and trip context together without turning your information into a public spot map.

- saved waters
- private entries
- scouting notes
- trip context
Private journal
Log trips with the conditions attached.
Log catches, blank trips, scouting notes, tips from other anglers, hazards, access notes, water observations, and private notes in a private fishing history with the conditions around that trip attached. The journal is for learning from your own records, not building a trophy feed.

- blank trips

- hazards

Environmental context
Each log entry saves the conditions from that trip.
When you log a trip, catch, scouting note, or observation, Keep Fishing attaches the relevant environmental picture for that time and place. Later, you can compare what happened without reconstructing the day from memory.
Catches, blank days, scouting trips, hazards, access notes, and water observations all keep the surrounding context.
Water readings, tides, weather, reports, source freshness, and saved-water range context stay with the entry where available.
Your logs help you see what actually worked when the water, tide, weather, and reports lined up — without turning your spots into public data.
Private contacts
Your fishing contacts, not a social network.
Keep a private list of fishing partners, family, shuttle contacts, and trusted contacts. Use it to coordinate plans, route notes, timing, meet-up points, and on-water details without followers, public profiles, or friends-of-friends.
Fishing partners: coordinate when a group splits up, changes water, or needs a meet-up point.
Family and trusted contacts: share the plan, timing, and relevant overdue-trip context when it matters.
Shuttle and meet-up details: keep routes, vehicles, takeouts, and meeting points tied to the trip.
Private by default: fishing contacts are your list, not a public network.
On-water coordination
Stay coordinated when plans change.
Whether you are fishing solo, floating with a shuttle, or splitting up with a group, Keep Fishing helps keep the plan, location context, timing, route notes, meet-up points, and the right people in one place. Trip Watch is a backup plan for when return time matters. It can help selected fishing contacts understand overdue-trip details and last known location where available, but it is not emergency dispatch.
- Route notes, plan changes, planned return, and meet-up points stay tied to the trip.
- Private fishing contacts can include partners, family, shuttle contacts, and trusted contacts.
- Selected contacts or group members can understand relevant trip context and overdue-trip details where available.
- Clear caveats for poor signal, dead phones, carrier delivery, and emergency-service limits.
Privacy
Your spots stay yours.
Saved waters, notes, photos, pins, logs, and fishing contacts stay private by default. Keep Fishing is built to help you learn from your own water — not turn your history into a public feed, leaderboard, or spot map.
