Frequently Asked Questions
How My OWL Fishing™ evaluates trips, handles data, and supports fishing decisions.
What is My OWL Fishing™?
My OWL Fishing™ is a fishing decision-support app that helps anglers determine where to fish, when to fish, and what bait, lure, or presentation may be most effective under current conditions.
Is this a fishing forecast app?
Not exactly. While My OWL Fishing™ uses weather forecasts, its primary purpose is to evaluate fishing conditions and provide practical fishing recommendations.
How does the fishing score work?
Fishing scores are calculated using factors such as weather conditions, seasonal influences, water conditions, species behavior, location characteristics, and historical fishing results.
Which species are supported?
Current support includes Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, Lake Trout, Kokanee Salmon, Bass, Walleye, Northern Pike, Crappie, Perch, and Panfish.
Can I create my own fishing spots?
Yes. You can create and manage custom fishing locations, including water type, species present, water clarity, and bait restrictions.
Does the app recommend bait and lures?
Yes. Recommendations are based on species, water conditions, weather, and fishing-location characteristics.
Does the app track my fishing trips?
Yes. You can log trips, record observations, track successful techniques, and build a personal fishing history.
Does the app learn from previous trips?
Historical fishing results can influence future recommendations by identifying patterns associated with success.
Do I need an internet connection?
An internet connection is required to retrieve current and future forecast data. Saved fishing spots, preferences, and trip information remain on your device.
Does it replace local knowledge?
No. My OWL Fishing™ supports decision-making; it does not replace local knowledge, experience, regulations, official weather information, or direct observation of current conditions.
Does it guarantee I will catch fish?
No. Fishing results depend on many changing factors. The app provides planning guidance and recommendations, not a guarantee.
Does it replace fishing regulations or safety information?
No. Always verify current licenses, seasons, limits, closures, weather alerts, water conditions, and local regulations before a trip.
