I don’t consider myself much of a techie but am learning to appreciate how worthwhile handheld technology can be. Two good apps I’ve uploaded to my Iphone are “Animated Fishing Knots” (John Sherry - $0.99) and AB Fishing (Orbital Marketing - free.)

The Animated fishing knots application features a selection of knots for line to line connections, loop connections, and terminal connections. Aside from some basic information each knot is demonstrated via an animated video. Great resource for anyone whether you’re just getting started, want to improve the knots you currently use, or want to add an improved clinch to your knot tying prowess.

AB Fishing is essentially a hand held copy of the Alberta Sportfishing Regulations. Orbital Marketing also offers AB Hunting, BC Fishing, and BC Hunting.

Other apps we’ve used include:

• Ayetides - a great resource for saltwater anglers - by Hahn Software ($9.99.)
• WeatherEye - the Weather Network for local forecasts.

Watch here for future app suggestions.
