Six planning tools in one download
A chapter per river for 15 Colorado waters, fifteen quick cards, a twelve-month hatch calendar, a fly box checklist, a trip planner and a phone-sized cheat sheet. Yours to keep, with no subscription and no account.

In Development
RiverFinn
A separate app for live conditions: flow, water temperature, closures and regulation notices for individual river sections.
It is not released, there is no release date, and it is a separate product from anything sold here. Buying the Playbook or a Skill Test report does not include it. There is a waitlist if you want to hear when there is something to install.
