iGuidePro is a mobile fly-fishing app for professional and recreational anglers that combines the expertise of the pros with rich content and technology to create a platform for anglers with a broad range of experience. The app enables angler enthusiasts who want to maximize each fly-fishing trip but can’t regularly contract for a professional guided excursion, while providing a platform for professionals to contribute their experience to the fly-fishing community.

Career fly-fishing guides spend years honing their craft, and they strive to share their knowledge in order to continually improve the sport of fly-fishing. Meanwhile, angler enthusiasts dont always have the ability to charter a trip to leverage the expertise of the pros. iGuidePro offers an optimal approach for both: It provides a platform for fly-fishing gurus to contribute their skills and savvy to the broader community, while enthusiasts can create their own virtual guided tours with pre-packaged trips that include professional planning, extensive details on numerous locations, and tips and tricks to help make every trip a success. What’s more, iGuidePro leverages rich, user-friendly content and advanced GPS technology to map out guided trips worthy of a professional that can be saved and used again, no matter what lake, river or fish you’re looking for.

Here’s how iGuidePro works:
Enthusiasts can simply select their location and start planning an excursion in detail using knowledge of every hole in that river or lake provided by iGuidePro’s validated professionals. You can get real-time feedback to help select ideal fly-fishing patterns, and the app helps you anticipate and prepare for various environmental conditions such as river flow or active hatches. iGuidePro also tells you which fish species are currently in the water as well as recent stockings.

Professionals can create virtual trips by packaging the specialized knowledge they already own and market it in a whole new way. This can provide a new source of income, a new marketing channel for themselves and their shops, and extend their reach to a whole new price point and market segment.
