Your guide · Corey Boelkens
I built the guide.
Now let's use it.
I'm an Arkansas outdoorsman, PADI Divemaster and the founder of Tale Waters and Tides. I built Pocket Fishing Guide to make the information behind a fishing day easier to use.
This November, I'm bringing that work onto the river with guided weekday trips. The technology helps us plan. The day is about being out there.
