PHOENIX — The Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD) has launched a newly enhanced Fish & Boat AZ application, designed to provide a more intuitive and efficient user experience for anglers and boaters exploring Arizona’s waterways.
Building on the success of the existing Fish & Boat AZ tool, the new version leverages the advanced capabilities of the ArcGIS Experience Builder platform to deliver improved search options, allowing users to find and filter outdoor recreation locations more easily and efficiently.
Key improvements to the new Fish & Boat AZ application include:
- Enhanced User Experience: Attribute-driven searching and filtering is more intuitive, helping users quickly locate lakes, rivers, and other recreation spots based on specific features or amenities.
- Smart Navigation Integration: The application makes better use of existing Google Maps links, helping users seamlessly access navigation directions from their desktop or mobile device.
- Improved Attribute Querying: Users can explore detailed information about waterbody features, boat ramps, fish species, and more through simplified, interactive queries.
The updated Fish & Boat AZ application will continue to be accessible at the existing domain, fishandboataz.azgfd.com, ensuring a smooth transition for returning users.
In addition to upgraded mapping and filtering features, the new application also provides quick access to important external resources, including:
- The AZGFD License Purchase Portal
- Official Fishing and Boating Regulations
- Trout and Bass Challenge information and updates
- Educational YouTube videos and tutorials for beginners and seasoned outdoorsmen alike
“We’re thrilled to bring these improvements to the public,” said Sportfish Program Manager Curt Gill. “This update will help make planning your next fishing or boating trip in Arizona easier, more informative, and more enjoyable.”
The new Fish & Boat AZ site went live this week. Users are encouraged to explore the upgraded site and take advantage of the new features.
