So much easier to keep up to date on the regulations for the area you are fishing 🎣

Very useful, instead of reading pages of information this app has regulations per region, species, limits, logs. Everything in one place. Awesome work!
★★★★★Nigel Taggart· Aug 15, 2026
Easy to use. Takes the guess work out of fish I'd. Like it that the regs updated automatically and no more paper licenses required

Linking doesn't work when NRLS accounts were created using same emails. It just shows "Invalid username or password"

June 3 issue is now fixed. Edit: June 2, 2025: I emailed about the problem on May 30th and just now added the problem using the app. May 30, 2025: I can't depend on this app for regulations anymore. I recommend to check DFO website before going out. When I chose any Rock Fish for area 23 today the app didn't show any retention info. Only shows closure for Pacific Rim National Park. I released several fish because of this, only to find out when I got home that DFO website shows rock fish are open.

Useless. How can it be called BC, whe it does not include the Okanagan, and anything farther east.
