Use Field Judgment

• FinFindr is operated by FinFindr LLC and provides informational fishing guidance based on available weather, water, season, species, and location inputs. Conditions can change quickly.
• Always verify current weather, water levels, closures, hazards, access rules, and local fishing regulations before you go.
• Do not rely on FinFindr to decide whether a trip, route, launch, crossing, wade, ice condition, or waterbody is safe.
• You are responsible for your own field decisions and for stopping, changing plans, or leaving when conditions are unsafe.

Not Navigation Or Emergency Advice

• FinFindr is not a marine navigation tool, emergency alert system, weather warning service, legal compliance service, or replacement for official safety sources.
• Maps and water reads are not depth charts, property boundary tools, marine charts, emergency routes, or official access maps.
• Use official weather alerts, charts, local agencies, fish and wildlife agencies, land managers, emergency services, and local authorities when safety or legal decisions matter.

Licenses And Access

• You are responsible for fishing licenses, seasons, harvest limits, method restrictions, boating rules, access permission, private property boundaries, closures, and local rules.
• When in doubt, check the relevant fish and wildlife agency, land manager, marina, property owner, or local authority before fishing.

Water And Outdoor Risk

• Fishing can involve boating, wading, ice, cold water, storms, lightning, heat, current, remote areas, wildlife, private property, limited cell service, and other risks.
• Wear appropriate safety gear, follow boating and access laws, tell someone your plan, and leave when conditions are unsafe.
• No app can remove the risks of fishing or guarantee that a waterbody, access point, forecast, or recommendation is safe.
