App Description

For the first time ever, ParksByNature in partnership with Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Fish Division have created an application two years in the making specifically for Oregon anglers. Integrating cutting edge GIS technology into the mapping feature, the FREE Pocket Ranger® Oregon Fishing Guide, powered by Pocket Ranger® takes the guess work out of angling rules and regulations making it an essential tool in any avid or novice angler’s tackle box. Now, wherever you are on any of Oregon’s complex waterbodies and river systems you can access up-to-date rules & regulations for your exact location on the map with just a zoom and tap of the screen!

This innovative outdoor guide will enhance and help you plan your next big fishing trip. Through the Pocket Ranger® Oregon Fishing Guide, you will gain immediate access to useful information to on-the-spot species profiles, rules and regulations, and important permits and licensing details in the palm of your hand. With the app’s “Nearest Me” feature, uncover which lakes, ponds or any body of water are closest to you, so you can embark on your adventure right away.
