FAQ

Good to know

Is it really free?

Yes — no account, no subscription. It's a static web app built on public open data.

Does it work without cell signal?

Yes. Add it to your home screen and it installs like an app. Star a lake beforehand and its full profile — species, regulations, stocking history and solunar times — is saved for offline viewing.

Is the data current?

Regulations, advisories and the species index are periodically refreshed snapshots of the official datasets; live conditions (weather, water levels, community catches) update every visit.

Is this an official government site?

No — it's an independent tool built on Ontario's public open-data services. Always confirm seasons, limits and sanctuaries in the official Ontario Fishing Regulations Summary.

What do I need to run it?

Just a browser. No installs, no plugins — open the map and start clicking lakes.
