Read the river. Hook the bite.

RiverPulse is a free fishing helper from Henricks Outdoors. Pick a river or lake, or tap Near me, and it checks the live water level from the U.S. Geological Survey and the National Weather Service forecast. It compares today's flow with what's normal for this date, then suggests a simple setup: bait or lure, line, rod, and reel, in plain words. Choose "New" for the simple version or "Lots" for more detail.

It covers 1,170 rivers, lakes, and coastal spots, with full lists for 22 states and a few famous spots everywhere else. Near me also finds live water-level stations around you.

Every number shows where it came from and how old it is. RiverPulse never guesses a season or a limit. Each plan links to your state's official license and fishing rules pages instead. Save the waters you fish most, and they'll show up on your Basecamp with the last reading. No account needed.
