FAQs

Q: Can I add or remove items?
A: Yes. Each section has a box to add your own item, and every item has an X button to remove it. Reset to Default brings back the original list for that section and removes your added items.
Q: Are my ticks saved?
A: Yes, in your browser on this device. They are not sent anywhere and do not follow you to another device or browser.
Q: Does it cover licence rules?
A: No. It reminds you to bring a licence or permit if one is required, but it does not say what is required or where. Check with the local fishing authority.
Q: Does the list change by type of fishing?
A: No. It starts as the same list of common gear for everyone and does not ask about species, water or method.
