River Alerts
Follow the rivers you fish. Know when conditions change.
Choose the river sections you fish across Colorado, Montana, Michigan, Oregon and Washington. See flow, water temperature and agency notices in one place, and get them by email when you want them.
No card needed. Up to 3 rivers during the trial.
What you get
Everything you check before a trip, for the rivers you choose
Follow river sections
Pick the sections you actually fish, up to 25 on a plan. Each one is a
named stretch of river, not a whole river or a whole state.
Flow and water temperature
The latest readings where a gauge reports them. Some sections have flow but no
temperature, and we say so rather than fill the gap.
A conditions rating on most sections
A conditions rating from our data partner on most sections. Others are
deliberately not rated and show measured conditions only.
Closures and advisories, up front
Agency safety advisories and closures are shown first and clearly, in the
agency's own terms, with where to confirm them.
Reports and alerts by email
A daily report, a weekend outlook, and alerts when things change. Each one is on
only if you want it, and every email has a one-click unsubscribe.
Honest about its limits
It tells you when data is missing, old or provisional, and never fills a gap with
a guess.

Before you rely on it
What River Alerts is, and what it is not
- Checked about every 15 minutes Not real time. A change that comes and goes between two checks can be missed.
- Readings can be provisional Gauge data is often provisional when first published and can be revised later.
- Always confirm with the agency Closures, regulations and advisories come from state and federal agencies. Their notice is the one that counts.
- Not a safety guarantee River Alerts is information to help you plan. It never tells you a river is safe, and conditions on the water can change fast.
- Where the data comes from The USGS, state wildlife agencies and the National Weather Service. Ratings are a conditions rating from our data partner.
- Not every section is rated Some sections show measured conditions only. That is deliberate, and each one is labelled.

FAQ
River Alerts questions
Is River Alerts available now?
Yes. Start a 7-day free trial with no card, then choose a plan if you want to keep it.
Is it real time?
No. Conditions are checked about every 15 minutes, and a change that comes and goes between two checks can be missed. Gauge readings can also be provisional.
Does it tell me whether it is safe to fish?
No. It shows measured conditions and the agency closures and advisories it knows about. It is information to help you plan, not a safety guarantee. Always confirm with the agency before you go, and use your own judgement on the water.
Why are some sections not rated?
Some water cannot be rated well from the data available, so those sections are deliberately left unrated and show the measured conditions instead. Each one is labelled Conditions only.
Where does the data come from?
River readings come from the USGS, state wildlife agencies and the National Weather Service. Ratings are a conditions rating from our data partner.
What happens after the free trial?
Your emails stop unless you choose a plan: $5.99 a month or $29.99 a year. Your rivers and settings are kept either way. No card is taken for the trial, so nothing is charged automatically.
Can I cancel?
Yes, any time, online from your account. Cancelling stops the next renewal; your plan keeps working until the end of the period you paid for. Billing is handled by Lemon Squeezy.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. Email us within 14 days of a charge, first payment or renewal, and we refund it in full and cancel the plan. The refund policy has the details.
