For fishing guides
Your trip record and client recaps, from what you say on the water
Talk through a guided day and Fish Fish keeps each client’s catches straight, keeps a written record of every trip, and gives every client a recap page of their own.
The trip record
Every guided trip gets a written record on the same page as its catches: the dates, the towns, the species sought, and each client’s address, phone number and license number. It works wherever you guide.
New Hampshire is one state that requires this record by rule. If you hold a New Hampshire guide license, rule Fis 1303.01 says you keep it for every guiding trip, update it within 10 days after the trip, keep it at least 5 years, and make it available to Fish and Game when asked. Fis 1302.01(b) also makes you responsible for confirming each client holds a valid license.
What Fish Fish records
- Trip dates
- Towns where you guided
- Species sought
- Each client’s address, phone and fishing license number
- A license-checked box for each client
- A reminder on Home and the trip list until the record is complete, marked overdue on day 10
- CSV export and print for your files
If your state asks for something this record does not hold, tell us and we will add it. The summary of New Hampshire’s rule above is not legal advice. Read the rule in plain words or the state’s rule text.
How a guided day goes
Step 1: Set up the trip
Add the dates and who’s in the boat. That roster is what every catch and the record hang on.
Step 2: Talk through the day
Between fish or on the drive home, record a voice note the way you’d tell it at the shop: who caught what, on which fly, where.
Step 3: Catches land on the right client
Fish Fish turns the note into catches and labels each one with who caught it. You confirm the client from the roster, fix anything it got wrong, and save.
Step 4: The record fills in
The trip already holds the dates and the clients. Add the towns, species sought and each client’s details, and tick the license check. Until every field is in, the trip shows as incomplete, and it turns overdue on day 10.
Step 5: Each client gets a recap page
One page per client with their own fish and photos. Copy the link and text or email it. Another client’s fish and everyone’s contact details stay off it.

Questions guides ask
- Does it work without signal?
- Partly. Open Fish Fish and sign in while you still have service. On the water you can log catches by hand and record voice notes; they wait on your phone. Turning a voice note into catches and pulling weather and flows need a connection, so that part happens when you’re back in service. Check that waiting work has synced before you clear browser data.
- What happens to client details?
- They stay private to your account. Addresses, phone numbers and license numbers never appear on a client’s recap, in public fishing reports or on profiles, and they are never sent to an AI model. You can erase a client’s details from a trip. Export the record first if you still need it for your 5 years.
- Can I export or print my records?
- Yes. Each trip exports a CSV with one row per client, and prints or saves as a PDF. If you stop paying, you can still read, export and print the records you have. If you’d rather keep paper, there is a free printable trip record.
- Does it work outside New Hampshire?
- Yes. Rosters, catches by client, recaps and the trip record work wherever you guide. The record holds the dates, the towns, the species sought, and each client’s address, phone and license number. We checked those fields against New Hampshire’s rule, the one we have read line by line. If your state asks for something more, tell us and we will add it.
- Can it help with my state’s guide report?
- For Michigan, Kentucky, Indiana and Arizona, Fish Fish lays out your trips in the order the state’s guide report asks for, ready to copy into the state’s site or form. You still file the report yourself, and it shows what each state asks for that your trips are missing.
- What does it cost after the free season?
- On May 1, 2027 you choose a plan: Guide at $29 a month or $249 a year, or Angler at $4.99 a month if you stop guiding. No card is taken for the free season, so nothing is charged unless you pick a plan. If you don’t, you can still read and export your records.
