Make a safer water plan
Check the forecast, water level and access rules before leaving. Wear a properly fitted life jacket, carry a way to call for help, and tell someone your route and return time.

Maps and location search work worldwide. Weather observations cover the contiguous US; USGS monitoring and verified depth coverage vary. Location sets the context for your tools. You can override individual choices. Reports are shared only when you submit them; location alone does not identify the correct conservation authority.

Record the pattern
Log species, waterbody, bait, size, time and conditions. Compare your own observations over several trips. A pressure change alone does not guarantee a bite.
Clean. Drain. Dry.
Remove plants and debris from your boat and gear. Drain water before leaving. Follow the local agency’s current instructions for drying and disinfection before entering another waterbody.
Observe, document, report
Note the place, time, affected wildlife and what is visible. Take photographs from a safe, permitted location. Do not handle dead fish or investigate a spill yourself.

Depth & structure by location
Choose a waterbody and consult an available official map. A chart gives surveyed depths for its stated conditions; actual depth changes with water level. This app cannot measure depth through a phone.
No verified depth chart is bundled for Drost Park. Do not use a river gauge as bottom depth or navigate using a location map.
