Regulations
Fishing regulations by state, province, and federal zone
Size limits, bag limits, possession limits, and open seasons — for every jurisdiction CatchRules covers. Tap a state or province to see what the app tracks for that area.
United States — all 50 states
CatchRules pulls from each state's official wildlife-agency publications and keeps an archive of the source page so you can audit what we showed and when we showed it. Inland lakes, coastal saltwater, and anadromous species are covered where the agency publishes rules.

Canada — ten provinces
Canadian regulations are split between federal fisheries rules (for tidal and anadromous species) and provincial rules (for inland waters). CatchRules surfaces whichever applies to the species and location you're looking at.

Federal waters
Species under federal management — highly-migratory pelagics, billfish, some sharks, and ESA-listed fish — are covered by NOAA Fisheries rules in U.S. federal waters (generally 3 to 200 nautical miles offshore). CatchRules flags these species with a federal-protection badge wherever they appear.
