What one season looks like

A run has a shape. The app shows you where you are on it.

Solid is one season on the Kenai; grey behind it is the five-year average. Being nine days early is the whole difference between a good weekend and a long drive.

KENAI RIVER SOCKEYE, 2025 SEASON · ILLUSTRATION · COUNTS LIVE IN THE APP

Every station on one map

Weirs, sonar and counting towers from Kodiak to the Copper. Tap a pin instead of hunting for the right PDF on a state website.

A push the moment it posts

Pick your creeks and species. ADF&G updates on their own schedule; your phone knows before the parking lot fills.

This season against the last 24
