Ready to Elevate Your Fishing?
Now live on Google Play — built in North Dakota, for the water you fish.
Made by a North Dakota angler for prairie reservoirs, the Missouri, and the big water in between — and it works where the cell signal doesn't.
Elevated Fishing is a fishing log app built in North Dakota by a North Dakota angler. Its on-device AI identifies the species ND anglers actually catch — walleye, pike, perch, smallmouth, salmon — it checks any catch with a GPS spot and a length or weight against North Dakota state records, and it logs and IDs fish entirely offline, which is what you need on Sakakawea, Devils Lake, and the Missouri.
Elevated Fishing was built by Scott, an angler in North Dakota, under SM Consulting LLC. That's not a marketing line — it's why the app is the way it is. When you fish prairie reservoirs, the Missouri River system, and lakes where the nearest tower is a long way off, two things matter more than anything: logging has to be fast, and it has to work with no signal. That's the whole design.
The on-device classifier covers 770+ species, and a geographic reranker uses your GPS so the fish you're actually holding ranks first. For North Dakota water that means:
A saltwater grouper will never beat a walleye to the top of the list on a North Dakota lake — the geography reranker won't let it. More on how the AI works →
Log a length or weight and let the app grab your GPS, and every walleye, northern pike, yellow perch, smallmouth or largemouth bass, channel catfish, and chinook you save is checked against the North Dakota state record. Come within 95% of the record and the app tells you the moment you tap Save — so you can get the certified weight, the photo, and the witness you'd want if it's the one.
On the big water — Lake Sakakawea, Devils Lake, Lake Oahe, the Garrison tailrace — coverage comes and goes. Elevated Fishing logs catches, captures GPS and photos, and identifies species all without a connection. The weather pull from the National Weather Service and the water body name wait for a signal and fill themselves in later; the map's satellite imagery streams, so it needs one too. Everything you logged is on the phone. And because your data stays on the device, your honey holes never end up on anyone's server. How privacy works →
Yes. The on-device AI covers 770+ species, including the ones North Dakota anglers actually catch: walleye, northern pike, yellow perch, smallmouth bass, white bass, channel catfish, lake trout, and chinook salmon. A geographic reranker uses your GPS so prairie and Missouri River species rank ahead of saltwater look-alikes.
Yes. Give a catch a length or weight and a GPS location, and the app checks it against the state record for that species: North Dakota's walleye, northern pike, yellow perch, smallmouth and largemouth bass, channel catfish, chinook salmon, rainbow trout, and freshwater drum. If a fish comes within 95% of the record, the app alerts you when you save it, so you know when you're holding something special.
Yes. Logging, photos, GPS, and AI fish ID all run on your phone with no connection, which matters on big water like Lake Sakakawea, Devils Lake, and stretches of the Missouri where coverage drops. Two things wait for a signal, the live weather pull and the water body name, and both fill in on their own the next time you're connected. The Catch Map's satellite and street imagery is streamed, so it needs a connection too; your pins are always on the phone.
