Where does the data on the fish stock map come from?

All data is based on real, publicly shared catches from our Angelradar community. Only catches that anglers explicitly marked as public feed into the map - no estimates or theoretical distribution areas.

Can I display several fish species at the same time?

Yes! Select as many fish species as you like via the search bar. Each species is shown in a different color so you can directly compare the distribution of different species.

How accurate is the location data on the map?

All displayed catches have exact GPS coordinates that the angler voluntarily shared publicly. The accuracy corresponds to the GPS precision of the respective device.

What does the heatmap show?

The heatmap visualizes the density of catch reports. Red areas mark waters with many reported catches - i.e. real fishing hotspots. Green areas show areas with fewer reports.

Can I narrow the map down to my region?

Yes, use the filters for country, state and city. The map automatically zooms to your target area and shows only the catches in that region - ideal for finding waters near you.

How can I contribute my own catches to the map?

Register for free at Angelradar and record your catches in the digital catch log. Choose 'Public' in the privacy setting - your catches then appear automatically on the fish stock map and help other anglers.

Which fish species are available on the map?

The map shows all fish species for which public catch reports are available - including popular target fish such as pike, zander, perch, carp, catfish, trout, tench and many more. The available species grow with every new catch report.

Is the fish stock map free?

Yes, the fish stock map is completely free and can be used without registration. To contribute your own catches you need a free Angelradar account.
