Fly fishing guide · Europe

Your next riveris out there.

From Alpine freestone streams to Scandinavian salmon water. Europe holds thousands of wild trout and grayling rivers. Most of us only ever fish a handful.

The problem

Finding it takesforty open tabs.

Old forum threads, half-translated club pages and a licence you can only buy at the bakery. Planning a fishing trip shouldn't eat more evenings than the trip itself.

We fished itso you know.

Every water in Fly Fish Water is curated by guides and anglers who fish it. Best months, fish stock, licence prices, hatches, flies and water levels. No fluff, just facts.

Fly Fish Water app

Every water.One app.

Find the river, check what's hatching, buy the licence and go. All the key info for Europe's best fly fishing destinations in your pocket.

Why Fly Fish Water

We kept losing whole evenings to research before every trip. So we built the guide we always wanted: current, objective and specific to every water.

Curated

Built and checked by our network of guides and fly fishers who actually fish these rivers.

Current

Seasons, licence prices, water levels and closures, updated as they change. New destinations are added all the time.

Complete

Species, hatches, fly patterns and where to buy your licence, in one place instead of forty tabs.

Step 1 · Browse

Find your water.

Search by river or town, or filter by country, species and season. Every spot shows the price, length and season at a glance.

Step 2 · Map

See it on the map.

Plan a road trip along several rivers. Clusters show where the good water is, so you can combine spots in one week.

Hatch charts & flies

Know what's hatching before you pack.

Every water gets its own hatch chart and a short list of patterns that work there. Tie or buy the right flies at home, instead of guessing on the riverbank.

About us

“Good fortune comes to the well prepared, wherever you cast your fly.”

We're fly fishers who love exploring new waters. We kept running into the same problem: finding reliable, up-to-date information about where to fish. So we built the app we wished we'd had before our own trips.

Curated by a growing network of anglers and guides who fish these places. Respect for the water and the fish comes first, so local rules on barbless hooks and catch and release are part of every listing.
