Follow your waters
Follow the lakes and rivers you fish. When an agency reports a stocking on one of them, you get a text.
What the opt-in looks like
This is the exact consent step in Account → Settings, shown after you add your number. The box is unchecked by default — receiving texts is your choice, never automatic, and never required to use the site.
Mobile number (US)
What you'll receive
Two kinds of message: the one-time code you use to verify your number, and stocking alerts for the waters you follow. We don't send marketing or promotions to your phone.
Message frequency & rates
Frequency varies with activity on the waters you follow — typically a few messages per week during stocking season, and quiet in the off-season. Message and data rates may apply.
Stopping & help
Reply STOP to any message to cancel all texts. Reply HELP for help, or email [email protected]. You can also remove or change your number anytime in Account → Settings.
Your privacy
Your mobile number is used only to send the alerts you asked for. It is never sold, and never shared with third parties for their marketing. Text alerts are for members 13 and older with a US mobile number. See our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
