Before it was software, it was a spreadsheet

Fishing Outfitter was built by a fly-and-float guide who ran trips across Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho for six seasons — enough time chasing deposits and juggling the book to know exactly what an outfit actually needs. It's the system we wish we'd had on the water. Read our story

Everything you need to run your outfitting business

From first inquiry to post-trip follow-up, Fishing Outfitter has you covered.

Run Your Operation

Everything you need from first inquiry to final invoice.

Booking Management

Track every booking from inquiry to catch. Payment schedules, documents, and trip details in one place.

Reschedule & NotifySolo & up

Move a trip's dates or cancel it in one tap — or shift a whole day at once when the weather turns. Clients are automatically notified by email, text, and in-app with the new plan.

Payments & A/R

Accept payments via Stripe. Track deposits, balances, and overdue payments automatically.

Catch TrackingSolo & up

Track catches from water to delivery. Status workflows for processing, replica mounts, and client pickup or shipping.

Lead Capture

Embed a lead form on your website. Automatically track inquiries and follow up with prospects.

Online Booking & PaymentSolo & up

Give anglers a hosted page to book a trip and pay their deposit by card — a real booking and deposit invoice are created automatically, no lead triage. Toggle it on or off per outfit.

Scan Bookings & FormsBusiness & up

Snap a photo of a paper booking sheet or filled-out form and Fishing Outfitter reads it into a booking automatically — no retyping from a clipboard.

Automated Lead NurtureBusiness & up

Enroll new leads in automatic email follow-up sequences so prospects stay warm and nothing goes cold while you're on the water.

Equip Your Guides

Give your guides the tools they need in the field.

Guide Portal

Each guide gets their own portal with calendar, assigned trips, and client details. No more group texts.

Guide TasksPro & up

Assign tasks with priorities and due dates. Guides see what needs doing before, during, and after each trip.

Fishing ReportsSolo & up

Capture weather conditions, wildlife sightings by species, catch outcomes, client observations, and safety flags on the water — every report feeds your Fishing Report Insights.

Fishing Report InsightsBusiness & up

Your guides already log every trip — now the operation learns from it. See which conditions produce catches, sighting trends by species, activity by water and time of day, and safety flags that need follow-up.

Works OfflineSolo & up

No bars, no problem. Guides file fishing reports and shopping items with zero cell service — everything saves to the phone and uploads itself once they're back in coverage. Documents and licences already opened stay readable on any plan.

Meal PlanningBusiness & up

Plan meals for every trip day. Ingredients roll up into your shopping list automatically.

Cook PortalBusiness & up

Give your camp or lodge cook their own login with each trip's menu, headcount, dietary flags, and an auto-built shopping list.

Guide Expense SubmissionSolo & up

Guides log expenses and snap receipts from their phone in the field; you review and approve from one place.

Impress Your Clients

A professional experience that builds trust and repeat business.

Client Portal

A branded portal on your own subdomain. Clients view trip details, sign documents, pay deposits, and check gear lists — no app download.

Gear ListsSolo & up

Trip-specific checklists so clients arrive prepared. Customizable per trip type.

Travel Information

Clients share flight details, hotel info, and arrival times through the portal. Everyone knows where to be.

Documents & Smart Forms

Form templates, e-signatures, and document uploads on every plan, with auto-filled smart forms on Solo and up. Waivers, licenses, and paperwork handled.

Photo Gallery

Share trip photos with each client in their portal — a lasting memory of the day on the water and a reason to rebook.

Know Your Returning ClientsBusiness & up

When a repeat client books, see their history at a glance — past trips, outcomes, preferences, and feedback — so every returning client feels known from the first call.
