Top 10 U.S. Fishing Spots of the Year as Logged on the Fishbrain App

The Fishbrain App proudly presents the top 10 U.S. fishing spots based entirely on the logged catches of its users.

Since we reviewed the Fishbrain App back in 2015, it has been soaring to new levels of popularity and it hasn't stopped there.

The popular fishing app can track your catches, connect you with other anglers, and even give you up-to-date fishing intel on your local and favorite spots.
