Olli-Mikael Vaittinen has fished his whole life. Fifteen years of fly fishing, guiding seasons on Norway's Lakselva — his favourite Atlantic salmon river — and a blue marlin landed in Vava'u, Tonga. Founder of Fishare — the app that puts the data behind the decisions every angler makes on the water.
Fishare scores every hour for your spot — tide, weather, light and moon in one verdict — and keeps the rules one tap away on the water. The forecast, saved spots and catch log stay free, forever.
