onWater App Launches Smart Summer 2025 Update with AI Tools for Anglers
BOULDER, Colo.–(BUSINESS WIRE) — onWater Fish, the top-rated app for anglers and water-based exploration, has officially rolled out its Summer 2025 update, introducing a trio of innovative tools designed to deepen user understanding of fishing behavior, improve decision-making on the water, and support conservation.
The upgraded features include a smart Journal, a patented AI Trout Measuring Tool, and a personalized MyWaters system that sends alerts when conditions align with previously successful outings. These additions are the latest in onWater’s expanding suite of tech-driven fishing solutions built to shape the future of angling.
MyWaters: Smarter Fishing Alerts Without Giving Up Your Spots
The new MyWaters feature enables anglers to closely track their preferred fishing locations, receiving custom alerts when current conditions match those of past successful trips—all without sharing specific locations publicly.
“The way anglers connect with nature is evolving,” said Alex Maier, CMO and Head of Product at onWater. “Our goal is to give users access and insights in the form of real-time environmental data, AI analysis, and personal performance tracking so they can become smarter and more environmentally conscious anglers.”
A Smarter, More Insightful Fishing Journal
onWater’s updated Journal offers a deeper look into angler behavior and trip outcomes. Key enhancements include:
-
Smarter logging: Track both catch and no-catch trips for a comprehensive fishing history.
-
Automatic condition tracking: River flows, moon phase, time of day, weather, and more are recorded automatically.
-
Pattern detection: Personalized dashboards reveal what factors contribute most to success.
“Imagine opening your dashboard and instantly seeing the best river flows, the perfect fly pattern for the day, and the ideal time to cast,” said Maier. “You’ll have access to everything you need, dialed by data, so all that’s left is the thrill of the catch.”
Patented AI Fish Measuring for Better Conservation
onWater’s AI Trout Measuring Tool, now in beta, offers anglers a hands-off way to log catch size with precision, designed with fish health in mind:
-
No reference needed: Unlike other apps, no ruler, ball, or hand is required in the frame.
-
Accurate and quick: The AI identifies fish from 107 species and returns precise length measurements.
-
Supports fish health: Minimizes handling time, lowering stress and improving post-release survival.
-
Conservation tracking: Anglers can log whether fish were kept or released, aiding resource managers and agencies.
Fishing with Knowledge, Not Guesswork
Unlike other apps that may reveal fishing spots, onWater avoids “spot burning” by focusing on why the bite happened rather than where. Its new tools help anglers improve their strategy while keeping their favorite spots private.
MyWaters and the Journal together form a feedback loop: the more you fish, the more powerful your insights become. Alerts are based on scientific factors like fish metabolic rates and water temperature at thousands of U.S. water bodies.
