onWater Fish has teamed up with American Rivers to launch an industry first conservation feature: the American Rivers’ list of America’s Most Endangered Rivers® Map Layer.

onWater Fish, Trout Unlimited, USGS, and Conservation X Labs (previously WildMe) are officially launching TroutSpotter, a groundbreaking program that uses artificial intelligence to transform how anglers contribute to fisheries science and conservation.

onWater Fish and Project Big Wood have launched a mobile EcoWatch integration, to easily submit real-time Big Wood River ecological observations.

Fish smarter with Lake Depth Maps. Now available in 9 states, this new onWater+ feature shows underwater contours, drop-offs, and structure to help you fish the right water, not just open water.

Cicadas only hatch when the ground hits 64°F and holds. This guide shows how to track the hatch using real-time soil temps, time it right, and fish it while it lasts.

Preview fishing access points with Street View in the OnWater Fish App. Check parking, ramps, trails, and more before you head to the water.

Discover onWater’s new California Trout Project Locator map layer—now live in the onWater app—to explore 60+ CalTrout conservation projects and connect with river restoration efforts across California.

onWater and Science on the Fly have launched an exclusive in-app Conservation Observation Tool to help volunteer anglers log real-time environmental data and support watershed restoration through tech-enabled community science.

onWater Fish Partners with Project Healing Waters to Support Veterans' Mental Health Through Outdoor Connection

‍New partnership enables anglers to explore exclusive fishing opportunities on private lands through the onWater app, supporting stewardship, rural communities, and sustainable land management.
