Description
Our goal with Montana Fishing Access is simple: to give you an easy-to-use, all-in-one, no-connection-needed, guide to fishing in Montana. Period. We designed our app to be intuitive.—We want you to spend your time fishing, not learning how to use our app. We designed our app to work offline.—We know that you’ll be out on the water when you’re fishing (well duh!). In Montana, that often means you won’t have cellular service, much less WiFi. So almost every aspect of Montana Fishing Access works regardless if the nearest cell tower is 3 counties away (and our counties are big!). The base map you need comes with the app and your current GPS location is always available. Just download Montana Fishing and go fishing; we’ve taken care of the rest. (The one item that requires a connection is the live USGS stream flow data, so if you know you won’t have cell or WiFi connectivity, tap on the gages before you go to see how water levels are looking.) We understand the critical information you need.—The single biggest issues for Montana fishermen—OK, separate from know where that secret fishing hole is!—is knowing where fishing accesses are located and what regulations apply. We are laser focused on providing you the most up to date information available. Montana Fishing Access allows you to use the GPS on your phone or mobile device to see exactly where you are relative to the stream, lake, or river’s put-in or take-out. And of course we provide mapping information for those times when your question is the simplest of all: “Where the heck am I?!” We don’t want to nickel & dime you or complicate your life.—Don’t you hate it when apps ask you to buy something else? Didn’t we just buy the app for goodness sakes?! And we surely don’t want to complicate matters by making you decide which of dozens of possible maps you need to buy. That is a nice option for a cartographer, but for most of us it’s just plain confusing. All those options leave us wondering which map do I buy?; What’s the difference between them?; Am I going to waste money when I realize I purchased a map I didn’t really want? When you buy Montana Fishing Access, we include what you need for this year’s fishing in Montana—no separate purchases required or requested.

I bought this app for a recent trip to Missoula and Livingston and found it hard to use, so much so that I gave up. For reasons I don’t understand, it divides Montana into sectors which you have to select, then drill down, after which you are presented with dozens of icons and you have to click on each to know what they say. Maybe I just didn’t get it, but that’s a failure of usability design.
I was excited to purchase this app. Although, when I opened it up it is missing many access sites on smaller rivers. For example, the North Fork of the Flathead. There is not a single access site listed. I hope the team continues to roll out new sites - for now I’ll stick to Google.
Update! Worked with Katie and she worked at updating the app, but it wasn’t until after I reset my phone and reloaded the app and it began working again as it should. Thanks Katie, Curt
They are quick when answering questions and on top of any issue. You can not ask for anything better than that
Why every time you view a flow report you have to open the app again instead of being able to use a back button. It's a real hassle.
