" Successful fly fishing for trout requires the angler to know three things:
1. What are the trout eating?
2. What fly matches what the trout are eating?
3. How do you present the fly to act like what the trout are eating?
The SnapHatch app can quickly answer all three of these questions in real time, even without cell service making it ideal to use while on the stream or lake. Snap a picture of any nymph or adult insect and the app will help you Match the Hatch! Spend more time catching fish and less time wondering what fly to use! "
Identify insects on the water in real time—no internet required. Use advanced AI image recognition or browse through Manual Selection to find the exact insect you're observing. Once identified, the app provides you with the best imitations and presentations to use for the current conditions.
