Fishing Rules Now Only 1 Touch Away

Ever caught a fish and either:
a) Wanted to know what it was?
b) Wanted to know if you could eat it?
c) Wanted to know the size and bag limit?
d) Didn’t have mobile phone or internet range so you couldn’t look the rules up?

Recfishwest is in the final stages of testing and is aiming to release the final application in the coming weeks. This App for both Iphone and Android that answer all the questions above!

We’ve been working hard to deliver you the best, most up to date and easy to understand fishing rules and information to make your fishing experiences as stress free and enjoyable as possible.

Your App will work when you’re out of internet and mobile range. It will contain all of the current information contained within the Recreational Fishing Guide with so much more. Your App will also contain a Fish ID tool, helping you ID your catch in just 4 simple steps.

We’ll keep you updated on this latest development.
