## Freshwater Fishing NZ Description
Freshwater Fishing NZ covers the trout and salmon rivers and lakes of the South Island. It turns live data into one plain answer: is it worth going? Then it helps you plan the trip, log every fish and keep the record.

CONDITIONS AT A GLANCE
- Live river flow, with water temperature where it's gauged
- A plain-English fishability verdict — weighing flow against cold, wind and recent rain, and rating the lakes too
- Two weeks of flow history against the river's typical (median) flow
- Current weather, rainfall and a 7-day outlook

READ THE HATCH
- Temperature-driven predictions for the willow-grub fall and cicada activity, built on published science
- A hatch calendar and a fly recommender matched to your water
- Method-aware throughout — set fly, spinner or bait and the app tailors what it shows

KNOW EACH WATER
- Fish species and regulations for every reach, from the official Anglers Notices
- Per-reach water character (lowland willow, tussock headwater, spring creek and more) so the hatch call fits the water

GET TO THE WATER
- Access types, parking, paper roads and access information where available
- Offline maps you can download before you lose signal
- River and lake webcams where available

PLAN YOUR TRIPS
- Plan a day or a whole trip across any waters
- Each day shows first and last light, flow, drive times and whether it fits before dark — plus the forecast when it's within a week
- Tap Start fishing and every fish you log joins the trip
- Add each day to your calendar, or share an invite

KEEP A SEASON WORTH REMEMBERING
- Log every fish — from a sighting to a landed fish — in one tap from a photo, tagged with the flow and conditions
- Edit any catch, filter by trip or angler, and export to a spreadsheet
- Share a Trip Journal (PDF) or a story card
- Back up your whole log to a file you keep, and restore it any time
- Insights, home-screen widgets and Siri

MEMBERSHIP

PREMIUM — know whether it's worth going, and what's on.
- The Fishability verdict — a plain-English "is it worth going?" for any river or lake, before you fuel up the car.
- Willow-grub and cicada hatch predictions, with the hatch calendar and fly recommender.
- Full conditions and the 7-day forecast, plus trips, the catch log, Trip Journals, story cards, insights, widgets and Siri.

PRO — everything in Premium, plus the app's smartest tools. Guide tools included.
For your fishing:
- Best Waters — ranks the rivers and lakes near you for how they're fishing today and tomorrow, for your method (fly, spin or bait), weighing live flow, water character, weather and the seasonal trend. A per-angler rotation spreads its picks so it never funnels everyone onto the same water — helping protect the fishery.
- Fishing-window alerts — told when a river comes into the conditions you fish.
- Bite window — the air pressure your own fish come on, from your catch log.
- Flow-band tables for every gauged river, and advanced analytics across your season.
For guiding:
- Client book, bookings and guided trips, plus branded client briefs and journals with your logo.

FOUNDING ANGLER — a one-off contribution for lifetime access to every Premium and Pro feature. Never renews. Offer open until 30 December 2026.

River flow, water temperature and high-water alerts are free to every angler, always.
