River Intelligence
The only fishing app that takes rivers seriously.
Why Rivers Need Their Own Intelligence System
Lakes change slowly. Water temperature shifts over days or weeks.
Rivers change HOURLY. A rainstorm 50 miles upstream can change everything about where fish hold.
That's why Get Hooked! built an entire intelligence system around rivers.
Live River Flow Data ONLY APP
Real-time USGS monitoring data, right on the map. No other fishing app does this.
- Real-time USGS flow data — cubic feet per second (CFS) updated continuously
- Flow as percentile vs. historical norm — not just raw CFS, but what the number actually means for this river right now
- Color-coded at a glance: GREEN = normal, YELLOW = rising, RED = blown out
- Historical percentile calculations — p10, p25, p50, p75, p90 so you know exactly where current flow sits in the historical range
- Water temperature when a sensor is available at the station
- Environment Canada integration for Canadian rivers

Custom Flow Alerts
Know the moment your river hits the right conditions.
- Favorite unlimited rivers across the entire US and Canada
- Set custom CFS thresholds — upper and lower bounds for your ideal fishing flow
- Get notified when conditions are right — push alerts when flow enters your target range
Your favorite steelhead river hits the right flow? You'll know before anyone else.
River Explorer NEW
14,000+ US rivers with full watershed visualization.
Upstream tributary network on the map
- Tap any waterway to draw its entire upstream network on the map
- Line thickness = stream order (Strahler classification) — see at a glance which tributaries carry the most water
- Tributary pills at midpoints — tap any tributary for detailed fishing intelligence
Tributary Intelligence
Every tributary tells a story. Get Hooked! reads it for you.
Gradient Class
Steep: Smallmouth and trout water. Fast current, rocky substrate, oxygenated pools.
Medium: Mixed fishery. Transitional water with diverse habitat.
Flat: Bass and panfish water. Slower current, deeper pools, softer substrate.
Thermal Character
North-facing: Stays cool longer into summer. Refuge water when main river warms up. Trout and smallmouth hold here in July and August.
South-facing: Warms early in spring. First tributaries to activate after winter. Early-season hotspots.
Recovery Time
How quickly the tributary clears after rain. Calculated from stream length and watershed characteristics.
Short tributaries: Clear in 6-12 hours. Fish the evening after morning rain.
Long tributaries: May take 2-4 days. Plan accordingly.
Species Hints
Derived from gradient, aspect, and stream order. The app cross-references physical characteristics to suggest what species likely inhabit each tributary.
Steep + cold + high-order = trout water. Flat + warm + low-order = bass and panfish. The math does the scouting for you.
Waterway Detail Sheets
Tap any waterway for a deep-dive across 6 tabs of intelligence.
Info
Watershed profile, Big Fish Potential rating, dam fields, and directions. Everything you need to know before you go.
Forecast
Adjustable radius slider (saved per-waterway), catch count, and your personalized AI forecast for this water.
Flow
Live flow status hero card, custom CFS alert slider, and a time-series chart showing the P25-P75 historical band so you can see where current flow sits.
Temperature
Water temperature hero with optimal species ranges, time-series chart, and anomaly detection vs. historical averages.
Precipitation
3-column precipitation summary with bar chart visualization. See what rain is doing upstream and downstream.
Network
Named tributaries with angler-friendly stream order labels and expandable tributary cards showing gradient, thermal character, and recovery time.
The Data Behind It
River Intelligence is built on authoritative federal datasets.
NHDPlus HR flowlines — the most detailed hydrographic dataset in the United States
Real-time monitoring stations — live flow, gage height, and water temperature across the US
Environment Canada rivers — real-time hydrometric data for Canadian waterways
Dams with National Inventory of Dams data — location, type, height, and storage capacity
Dam release schedules — federal dams link directly to release schedule pages so you know what's coming downstream
Named US rivers mapped with full upstream watershed visualization in the River Explorer
