Best Fishing Regulations App: category guide
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 counts as a regulations app
Here, a fishing regulations app is a phone app whose job includes showing size limits, bag limits and seasons for recreational anglers. Apps that only sell licenses, or only show maps, are outside the scope.
How apps are judged here
- State coverage.
- Water-level detail, not just statewide defaults.
- A link to the agency source on every rule.
- Help applying the rule: species ID and measurement.
- Free access to the rules themselves.
