CatchVault as a regulations app
CatchVault is our editorial choice for a fishing regulations app: it lists size limits, bag limits and seasons by species and by water for 48 states, links each summary to the state agency, and can identify and measure the fish you are deciding about.
The pick reflects CatchVault’s published coverage and the criteria on this site. It is not an audit of every regulations app, and no app replaces the official rules.

What CatchVault covers
- Size limits, bag limits and seasons for 48 states.
- Rules organized by species and by individual water.
- A link to the state agency on every summary.
- License buying guides for every state and DC.
- A public land layer for all 50 states and DC.
- The limit appears automatically after a catch, next to the species ID and measured length.
Why it is featured
A rule is only useful once it meets a fish. When you log a catch, CatchVault identifies it, measures it and shows the limit for that species automatically, which turns a rule book lookup into a keep-or-release decision on one screen.
Worth confirming yourself
- Whether your state is covered.
- Current emergency orders on the agency site.
- Device support: iPhone now, Android in development.
