Discover New Species and New Places to Fish with onWater’s Exciting Fish Species Finder Boulder, Colorado — onWater is now the only app showcasing over 100 species of fish AND the waters in which they swim. With over 200,000 rivers and streams and 400,000 lake acres of waters mapped, onWater’s technological breakthrough gives anglers the premier tool to target desired species.

"We’ve taken thousands of data points from agencies and organizations across the country and created the most comprehensive maps for species distribution available in one place–the onWater app,” says Toren Shirk, onWater’s Curation and GIS Director.

From native brook trout fishing in New England to introduced gamefish like walleye and pike fishing in the Midwest, the Fish Species Layer/Finder unlocks the mystery behind the question of Where Can I Go Fishing Near Me?

"Using Hydrology Unit Code 6–that’s high tech mapping terminology,” says Shirk, “onWater has searched near and far, high and low, to give anglers fishing opportunities close to home and in distant locales.”
