Trip Tracking & Your Fishing Diary
River Ranker is your private fishing diary. Every trip, catch, note, and GPS spot is saved on your device and shared with nobody. There are no profiles, no social feed, no way for other users to see your data.
Starting a Trip
Start tracking
Tap "Start Fishing Trip" on any river page to begin tracking your session.
Active status
A status bar appears showing trip duration, fish count, notes, and species icons with a live timer.
Works offline
All trip data is saved locally on your device. You don't need cell service to track your fishing.
Logging Catches
Fast logging
Select species, optionally add length, method (dry fly, nymph, streamer), fly pattern, section, and photos. Designed to take about 15 seconds.
Auto-captured data

Photos
Attach photos to build a visual record of your best fish and memorable moments.
