Know what's working before you hit the water
Bushwhack tracks your catches, spots, gear, and conditions so you stop guessing and start seeing patterns. Free to use, built by anglers.
Three steps to fishing smarter
No setup guides, no learning curve. Log a trip and the data starts working for you.
Log your trip
Record what you caught, where, what fly or lure, and the conditions. Takes 30 seconds.
See your patterns
Your dashboard shows which flies produce, which spots are hot, and when fish are biting.
Catch more fish
Stop guessing. Check your data before your next outing and fish with confidence.
Built for anglers who want to get better
Not another generic fishing app. Bushwhack focuses on the data that actually helps you catch fish.
Know what to tie on
Track what's producing at each spot. Next time you're on the water, check your data instead of guessing through your tackle.
Remember every spot
Save your locations with notes and catch history. That pull-off on the back road where you slayed browns last October? It's saved.
Spot trends you'd miss
Moon phase, water temp, time of day, season: your dashboard connects dots you wouldn't notice from memory alone.
Track your whole setup
Rods, reels, flies, lures: log what you used and see which combos perform. Justify that next gear purchase with real data.
Build your fishing story
Attach photos to every log. Scroll back through a visual timeline of your best days, biggest fish, and favorite water.
