OLYMPIA — Fishing fans in Washington will get a chance to test a revised app from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife that provides the latest information on fishing regulations.
The “Fish Washington 2.0” is an updated version of the original app, and according to a WDFW press release, it’s been upgraded.
“Fish Washington is a mobile application designed to provide up-to-the-minute fishing regulations for every lake, river, stream and marine area in the state,” the press release said.
The updated app is designed to address the problems reported in the original. The revised app is designed to use less memory and require fewer updates.
“Other improvements are location-enabled USGS river gauges and tide charts, more consistent emergency regulation delivery, and map upgrades,” the press release said.
Ads were part of the original version, but they have been eliminated, it said.
The app can be downloaded from the WDFW website and is available in Android and Apple versions. Developers will take information from users to make improvements.
Users can leave their opinions at [email protected].
The app will officially launch later this year.

About 104 homes are planned at the former Atlas sawmill site
Teachers, nurses, firefighters and other workers who keep Coeur d’Alene running will soon have more places to buy a home in the community where they work. About 104 homes are being planned to be built at Atlas Waterfront, on roughly 10 acres that are part of a swath of land that was once home to the Atlas sawmill and is being redeveloped. Ignite CDA, the city of Coeur d’Alene’s urban renewal agency, is leading this effort.
