Enhancing the club experience
Bespoke designs for participating clubs, featuring mapped beats showing parking and hut locations.
Receive live updates and advice from the Riverkeeper about conditions and club activity. Interact with other members whilst on the water.
Fret not:your location is blurred (apart from your own map views) for safety reasons, and so you don't give away your secret catching spots.
If you think your club and its members would benefit from reliable catch returns, improved safety on the water, and the many other features Reeltime offers, we'd love to hear from you: fish@reeltimeapp.co.uk
Features
Everything the river tells you, gathered in one place.
Six tools, designed for the way you actually fish — from the car park to the last cast in fading light.
Live River Map
See who's fishing where, in real time. No more wasted journeys to find six cars already parked on your favourite beat. Avoid crowded water, discover quieter stretches using satellite views, and make better decisions before you even leave home. You can see which members are fishing where — often just enough information to tell you where to head… and where to avoid.
Log Every Catch
Quick, effortless catch returns. Record fish in seconds with photos. ReelTime can recognise the species, estimate length and weight, and let you log the method and fly used — useful for your own records, and invaluable for fellow members, clubs and riverkeepers alike. Prefer not to log every fish individually? Add a simple catch summary at the end of the day instead. Your catches build into a personal catch map, while contributing to the club catch map too. And don't worry — club catch locations are intelligently blurred to keep favourite spots private.
Action Updates
Know what's happening right now. Live catch reports, successful flies, riverkeeper notices and member updates keep you connected to the pulse of the river throughout the day.
Water & Weather
Everything you need before heading to the river. EA gauge levels, rainfall, wind, temperature, air pressure and water clarity forecasts — all in one place, tailored to your club waters.
Today's Hatch
Match the hatch with confidence. See what's hatching now, which flies are producing, and how conditions are changing across the river system.
Riverside Messaging
A fishing club, properly connected. Message anglers on the water, share advice, check where friends are fishing, or quietly point someone towards the magic formula.
Safety First
Peace of mind beyond the fishing. Your precise location is visible only to you and the riverkeeper. ReelTime helps clubs keep track of active anglers on the river, making it easier to spot potential issues and check on members who may still be on the water after sunset. Alert the riverkeeper to criminal damage, or danger to members or wildlife, with the precise location shared to enable prompt repairs to take place.
Privacy
Fish on your own terms. Prefer to stay under the radar? Enable anonymous mode and your location still appears on the river map, but your initials are hidden and your name isn't revealed when another member taps your avatar — only the riverkeeper can identify you, for safety purposes. Your session ends automatically and tracking stops when you're more than 1 mile from the mapped beats, so the app only knows you're fishing when you actually are.
From the bank
"Like having a ghillie in your pocket."
"The live river information and club insights help you make better decisions, discover more water, and feel far more connected to the river."

"ReelTime has become an invaluable resource for both our members and myself as Riverkeeper."
"Accurate catch returns and a clearer picture of which species are being caught across the river provide hugely useful data for managing the fishery and understanding how the river is fishing."
