Angler checking fishing regulations on the water
    Catch limits from your photo GPS

    See catch limits when you identify a fish

    Snap a photo, get the species name, and see general bag limits and size rules for where you fished. Limits are sourced from GPS in your photo or a location you choose.

    How it works

    Photo GPS → jurisdiction → species limits

    On The Fish ties catch limits to where you actually fished, not a generic national default. Your photo location (or manual pin) determines which local rules apply for that species.

    GPS from your photo

    Embedded coordinates in your catch photo set the fishing location. No photo GPS? Pick a spot on the map.

    Jurisdiction matched

    National or state rules where they differ. The same species can have different limits in different regions.

    Cached limits text

    Bag limits, size rules and seasons appear as readable text. Results are cached so repeat lookups are instant.

    Informational only, not legal advice

    Fishing regulations change. On The Fish provides general guidance to help you decide what to look up. Always confirm current rules with your official fisheries authority before keeping fish.

    Wherever you fish

    Catch limits are matched to the country and region from your photo GPS or chosen location, including national, state and local rules where they differ. Coverage expands over time as more jurisdictions and species are added.
