Top waters
Thousands of lakes, ponds, and rivers are in the palm of your hand on Fishbrain. We provide you with an intuitive list of waters sorted by distance, making it easy to find new fishing waters. You can then sort through these waters with a species filter to help narrow your search.
Catch locations
When scrolling through the map, you can navigate any water by checking the locations where Fishbrain members have successfully landed fish. Fishbrain members have the choice of sharing their catches publicly this way or keeping them private. Tap on a public location marker to quickly bring up a catch photo and catch details, like baits used, techniques, weather patterns, and more.
Fishing access
A fishing spot is only great if you can legally access it. Our Parks and Government Lands layer shades areas that are federal, state, or city-owned and that could offer public access to water.
Big fish and species filters
Looking for a specific species? Or maybe you’re after a new personal best. Either way, you can filter your water lists to only show the species you are after, or waters with the greatest potential to hold trophy-sized fish.
