Features
Everything a stretch of river can tell you.
Each of these is in the app today. None of them invents a number.
Live river conditions
Current discharge from the gauge on the reach, refreshed every few minutes, with observation time and a link to the station.
RiverFinn Conditions Score
Flow, trend, temperature and wind against the reach's species profile. Only when enough is measured; a hard limit like a 70 °F reading caps it.
Flow
Today's CFS, and how it compares with the gauge's long-term record for this date where enough years exist.
Water temperature (where available)
From a thermometer on the water, with its own observation time. Reaches without one say "no live reading".
Flow trend
Rising, falling or stable over the last six hours, from the same gauge.
Weather
National Weather Service forecast for the reach: highs, lows, wind and rain chance for today and the weekend.
Advisories & closures
Mandatory closures and voluntary advisories from state wildlife agencies, with the agency's own wording and link.
Regulations
The standing rules for the stretch — gear, seasons, designations — from the managing agency, with a reminder to confirm before you fish.
Ask Finn
A fishing guide that answers from RiverFinn's data about your rivers, and tells you when something is not measured.
Nearby river recommendations
Rivers near you ranked by what is measured, with advisories and closures always ahead of the arithmetic.
Saved waters
Keep the rivers you fish. Your weekend outlook, alerts and Finn all start from them.
Alerts
Closures, advisories, temperature and flow thresholds, regulation changes and weekend outlooks, as notifications on your phone.
Trip planning
Tell Finn the day. RiverFinn picks the water and the hours, keeps the plan on your calendar with your own events, and flags changes.
Get directions
One tap to the access point in your maps app, from verified coordinates — never a guessed spot.
Data source transparency
Every screen can show where each number came from, when it was observed and when RiverFinn last checked.
Seasonal fisheries
Steelhead and salmon reaches carry their documented run windows and source instead of a score that would not apply.
Know before you go.
RiverFinn is free to start. Save a few rivers, ask Finn, and see what the water is doing before you drive.
