TROUTROUTES - Western States Fish Species Filter For Anglers

I continue to be impressed and lean in on the functionality of the TroutRoutes app and they recently announced a new species filter so that anglers in eight western states can identify streams where trout, salmon, steelhead, and other species are known to live.  

For PRO or Single State users, this is available now and look for an upcoming Masterclass to cover this new Species Filter feature with a full tutorial.  
 

 From the TroutRoutes presser...

TroutRoutes, the leading mapping and navigation app for trout anglers, has launched one of its
most requested features: Species Filter, a feature that helps anglers quickly find streams based
on their target species. Now available to all paying users on iOS platforms (PRO and
Single-State), anglers will be able to quickly filter streams based on their target species in
California, Washington, Oregon, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, and Idaho.

The new Species Filter can be found in the top-left corner of the app, directly below the search
bar. With just a few taps, anglers can filter waterways by:

● Trout species (including seven cutthroat species)
● Salmonids
● Steelhead (sortable by fall, winter, and summer runs)
● Arctic Grayling
● Whitefish

The filter instantly refines the map to display only waters containing the selected species,
making trip planning faster, more efficient, and more precise. The data powering the feature is
sourced from a variety of publicly available datasets, including state agency data and scientific
research project data. However, TroutRoutes has taken the initiative to remove data for certain
stressed trout species.

In addition, many StreamCards across Western states now feature detailed species lists, giving
anglers immediate insight into what inhabits each waterway. From well-known fisheries to the
Class II and Class III streams anglers have long been curious about exploring, this enhanced
species data provides deeper context before ever stepping foot on the bank.

TroutRoutes is part of onX, the leader in outdoor digital mapping and navigation. As an onX
company, TroutRoutes has gained access to expanded data sources and innovative features,
including Apple CarPlay integration, and a significant enhancement of its existing stream gage
feature.
