About
Built around how Northwest anglers plan a day.
Keep Fishing started with a common Northwest routine: gauge pages, weather, tides, fish reports, stocking schedules, maps, access notes, regulations, old notes, and the gear list all open before leaving the house. The app puts that prep next to notes from past trips, so the next call is based on more than memory.
Why it exists
The water changes. Your notes should show what happened last time.
The point is not to tell anyone where to fish. It is to keep the practical pieces together: what the water is doing, what the reports say, what your notes show from last time, and whether someone knows when you should be back.
Sources visible
Gauge readings, forecasts, tides, stocking reports, hatchery returns, and run timing show where they came from, so an angler can tell official sources from field reports and personal notes.
Your log beside the conditions
Catches, slow days, water notes, hazards, and photos stay beside the day's conditions. The point is remembering what happened on your water.
Private by default
Journal entries, saved spots, and private pins stay tied to your account. Sharing is a deliberate choice, entry by entry.
PNW fishing focus
Built around the specific logistics of PNW fishing days: checking whether water is in shape before loading the truck, watching tide and marine conditions, remembering the right gear, and setting a check-in plan for solo trips.
Region
Pacific Northwest by default.
Keep Fishing is built around Northwest waters: rivers, streams, lakes, bays, tidewater, the Columbia estuary, Puget Sound, and nearshore ocean days. That can mean a coastal river in winter, a trout lake in spring, an estuary tide window, or ocean weather when the season points that way. Salmon, steelhead, trout, cutthroat, and halibut, depending on the season. Coverage will expand as more waters are added, but the first version is rooted in the PNW.

Project
A small project from a PNW angler.
Keep Fishing is a solo project from Thalweg Fishing LLC. The business model is product access, not ads or resale of spot notes and catch history.
