TroutRoutes is unequivocally the best digital app for fly fishers. And no: it is nothing like social media. No one knows where you’re fishing, what you’re catching, or what you’re doing. Given the majority of the angling apps out there, that needs to be said. It could be argued that alone makes it worth having on your device.
But there is, of course, so much more. And now that onX has acquired TroutRoutes? You can be sure that more is going to get even better.
If you hunt, or are simply aware of the vast outdoor industry outside of fly fishing, you are undoubtedly familiar with onX. The platform is the digital authority for knowing access and distances in the field. It is also a superb mapping tool regardless of how far from civilization you find yourself. Launching soon, onX fish promises to provide the same benefits to anglers who find themselves motoring across massive lakes or walking around their local pond. With their absolute wealth of data resources for trout rivers throughout the country, TroutRoutes will serve as a powerful third facet of the onX family.
