Why we built this

License rules and local regulations are scattered across dozens of government sites, most of them only in the local language and hard to find from abroad. We pull that information into one place, translate it, keep it current, and pair it with the practical planning details a visiting angler needs — so you spend less time researching and more time fishing.

How it's made

Country guides are researched with AI assistance and web search, then reviewed and corrected before publishing. We aim for accuracy over volume — but rules change, so if you spot something wrong or out of date, please tell us and we'll fix it fast.

Free forever

The core of the site — country guides, license information, fish and technique databases and the Solunar calendar — is free and stays free. No paywall, no mandatory account.

How we stay independent

We fund the site through affiliate partnerships: when you book a charter or tour, or buy gear, through one of our links, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This never changes the information or recommendations we publish.
