Email andrew@dotonesix.com. A person reads it — usually within 48 hours. Tell us what device you're on and what you were looking at, and a screenshot if you have one; it saves a round trip.
Common questions
How do I save a spot?
Long-press anywhere on the map to drop a spot there. Or tap a stream or an existing pin and hit Save on the card that comes up. Saved spots can be named and have notes written on them.
How do I sign in?
Open the drawer from the sidebar and tap Sign in to unlock. Enter your email and we'll send you a link, or use Google. There's no password to remember.
Do my saved spots sync between devices?
Yes, once you're signed in. A spot saved on your phone shows up on your laptop within a few seconds, and the other way round. Spots saved before you sign in live only on that device until you do.
How current is the water temperature?
Most gauges update hourly. Where there's a USGS gauge in the stream, the number is a live reading from that gauge. Where there isn't one — which is most water — it's modelled from air temperature and calibrated against nearby measured reaches. The app labels which is which. A modelled number is a good guess, not a thermometer in that pool.
How do I use it offline?
Add BirdTrout to your home screen, then cache a region while you still have signal — the map, streams and public land for that area come with you. GPS and everything cached keep working with no bars. Live water temperatures and gauge readings need a connection, so those will be whatever they were when you last had one.
What states do you cover?
Michigan, which is the most complete by a long way, plus Wisconsin, Virginia and North Carolina. More are coming. If your water isn't covered yet, tell us where you fish — it's how we pick what's next.
How do I delete my account?
Open the drawer, tap your email address to open the Account section, and tap Delete account. We ask twice — once to say what goes, once to have you type it — and then it's done straight away. Your email, spots and settings go with it, every signed-in device signs out, and we can't restore any of it afterwards, so export your spots to GPX first if you want to keep them. If the button won't work for you, email us from the address on the account and we'll do it by hand.
I found a bug, or the stream data looks wrong
Email us with a screenshot and roughly where you were looking — a stream name and county is plenty — and we'll investigate. Wrong regulation or stream-type data is the one we most want to hear about, and quickly.
Before you go out
Everything on the map is our best reading of public data, and any of it can be wrong, stale or missing. Verify current regulations and water conditions yourself before you fish or hunt — the state's published guide is the law, this map isn't. Check Michigan DNR, Wisconsin DNR, Virginia DWR or NC Wildlife Resources Commission for the season dates, limits and closures that actually apply where you're standing. The terms go into more detail on what the data is and isn't good for.
