A free weekly catch picture for your fishery
CatchTank is a new fishing app for iPhone, launching in early December 2026. We’re looking for 5 to 10 pilot venues this winter to shape it with us. It costs you nothing.
The venues we’d like to start with
We want every venue’s details, prices and booking link to be right before anglers start using the app. To begin, we’re looking for waters like these.
Day-ticket coarse and carp
Commercial and day-ticket lakes where anglers already photograph their fish.
Trout stillwaters
Small and large stillwaters for fly and bait anglers.
Reservoirs
Bigger waters with a mix of species and plenty of visiting anglers.
Match and specimen waters
Venues with regular matches, or big fish people travel for.
The owner or manager we’re looking for
- Will check their venue page and send us corrections
- Will post the weekly catch picture to their Facebook or Instagram
- Is happy to put a QR poster up in the lodge or ticket hut
- Will give us honest feedback, including what doesn’t work
- Likes the idea of being one of the first
What a pilot venue gets, free
- A venue page on the map with your prices, species, facilities and a link to your own booking page. We don’t take bookings or a cut.
- Corrections that stick. Tell us what’s wrong and we’ll fix it. We check every change before it goes live.
- “Caught this month” on your page: the biggest fish, the top species and the latest catches that anglers choose to share from your water.
- A weekly catch picture every Monday for your Facebook or Instagram, with a suggested caption. During the pilot we make it and email it to you, and you post it.
- A “log your catch here” QR poster (A4 and A5, print-ready) for the lodge or ticket hut. Scanning it opens your venue page.

You stay in control, and so do anglers
Anglers choose
Anglers decide what they share. We never publish an angler’s exact swim, and anyone under 18 never appears on a venue page.
You can ask us to remove a catch
Tell us and we’ll review it within 24 hours.
Free stays free
We may add an optional paid “Venue Pro” later, and pilot venues would get a founding discount. No obligation either way.
What we need from you
- A yes by email, and the name of the venue
- Corrections to your page, and the link to your own booking page if you have one
- Somewhere to put the poster, and an email address for the weekly picture
- A few minutes of honest feedback now and then
There are no venue accounts or logins. We make and email the weekly picture during the pilot, and you tell us about any changes by email.
Honest bit. We aren’t claiming any anglers fish at your venue yet. The app is new, and the pilot is how we find out together.
What happens after you say yes
You can stop at any time. Tell us, and we’ll stop the same day. The full step-by-step is here.
- Days 1 to 3
You say yes
We send you what your venue page says today: prices, species, facilities, opening hours and booking link.
- Week 1
Corrections and your first poster
You send corrections, we check them and update your page. We send your print-ready QR poster for the lodge or ticket hut.
- Weeks 2 to 4
Your Monday picture
When anglers have logged catches at your water, we make the weekly picture and email it. You post it, or not. Nothing breaks if you don’t.
- Around day 30
A short chat
What worked, what didn’t, and what you’d change. Your feedback shapes what we build next.
Interested?
Reply with a yes, or ask anything first. A quick email is all it takes.
