This is a good start but it needs an offline mode. Having to re enter the layers you want every time you open the map is a major pain. It's explained that it is to help reduce data usage but an offline mode would be a much better solution.

Thank you for the feedback. The app does support completely offline use, including the maps. Do let us know via email at FishingBCSupport@sportfishing.bc.ca if you are unable to use the app while offline so that we can investigate.

I LOVE this app! Everything at my fingertips! You know how hard it is to find the regs on the fisheries website.... here they are! And the weather and tides. No need for multiple apps. Get this app!

It has all I need, so user friendly. I really do wish the Washington State fishing guide was set up like this.
