Your Texas Fly Fishing Journal
Texas Fly Fishing Journal is a free fly fishing logbook for Texas anglers. It organizes your catches, trips, and flies automatically, with optional AI tools when you want an edge.
Built by a Texas angler — for Texas anglers.

See It in Action
From logging a catch to mapping your spots and beating your personal best — here's what TFFJ looks like on the water.
Made for Texas Anglers
From the Guadalupe tailwater to the Llano, San Marcos, Colorado, and Hill Country creeks — this app is designed around the places you actually fish. Chasing a personal best on Guadalupe bass or just logging a Tuesday evening on the creek, it's built for it.
From Texas Anglers
“This app has been a huge help for me, keeping track of all the fishing I've been doing. Helping me identify fish as I learn, as well as helping me keep track of what I'm catching with what flies. It's a no-brainer app!”
“It makes tracking my catches so much easier and helps me keep track of where and when I've caught fish the most. Being able to list the location of my catches makes it so much easier to remember what spots hold more of certain species. Overall I think it's an excellent app and I plan on continuing to log all my catches on it!”
“I use it to review what has worked before at certain times of day and which flies were successful, for locations I frequent often.”
