Illustrative app preview. Not live rules, readings or a native screenshot.
Less searching. More time on the water.
From the first check of the rules to the last entry in your journal, AnglerBC keeps your fishing day together.
Read source-linked DFO and BC regulations, catch-limit tables and opening or closure notices. Automatic official-source checks help keep the app's information current.
Exact area, date, species and exceptions matter. Original rules control; shellfish safety needs a separate SHELLI check.
Preview noticesExplore by GPS, switch map and regional satellite views, and download selected coverage before leaving reception. Keep your favourite waters and spot notes at hand.
Offline works only for saved coverage and zoom. Satellite imagery is regional resolution; maps don't establish legal access.
Explore offline packsCheck location weather, wind, humidity, pressure and supported tides. Compare estimated fishing windows and see the conditions behind the outlook—not just a number.
Planning estimates, not catch or safety guarantees. Verified tide references currently cover two Lower Mainland stations.
See the conditions outlookUse a camera or gallery photo alongside the 21-species guide. Compare features offline, or deliberately choose online photo analysis for an additional species suggestion.
Offline matching is feature-assisted, not neural photo recognition. Online analysis needs consent; suggestions aren't legal identification.
Meet the fish guideKeep catches, photos, length notes and favourite spots in a personal journal. Build your own record of the waters, techniques and moments worth returning to.
Journal photos stay local unless separately selected for online analysis. Device storage isn't an encrypted vault.
Preview your field journalPlan by date, species and region. Store a licence copy and checklist, consult knot and river guides, and check readings from supported river gauges before heading out.
A stored licence or checklist doesn't validate entitlement. Gauge and reference coverage is limited and source-labelled.

Tap through the app's five-step flow. These teaching previews show the approach—not a live app session or current legal readings.
Step 1 of 5
Step 1 · Orient
Begin with the water and activity you have in mind. Use that context to find the source pages worth reading—rather than treating a nearby point as a permission boundary.
No map point, GPS fix, or saved spot establishes access or harvest permission.

Angler guides
Read the original notice or regulation for the exact area, date, species and method. A missing item is not an open status. Check shellfish sanitary and biotoxin closures separately through the official SHELLI service; harvesting limits don't answer food-safety questions.
Official DFO recreational fishing sources ↗Download source material and selected coverage before service drops. Offline maps cover only the saved extent and zoom—not every access route, boundary, closure or changing hazard. Check freshness when connection returns.
Weather, pressure, daylight and supported water-level data help frame a plan. AnglerBC's outlook is an app heuristic, not measured activity or catch probability. It doesn't replace personal judgment, safety planning or the original rules.
The offline field guide compares features; it is not an offline neural photo model. Journal notes and photos stay in local tools. Online photo analysis is a separate consented action—taking a photo doesn't send it anywhere.
