The Fishing Outlook shows the quality of a fishing water by analyzing historical and recent catches.

This feature measures how abundant the fish population is in a particular body of water, how densely fish are distributed there, and how successful anglers have been recently. Fishing Outlook also compares waters across the state to identify the most productive fishing spots.

Waters are ranked from Tricky to Great, with a gauge displaying the exact rating of each water, even within these categories.

Feature is available for Fishbrain Pro members only and currently has data for the following states: Texas, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee, Montana, California, Rhode Island, Florida, Ohio, Iowa, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, District of Columbia and Georgia.
