Live fishing intelligence for Arkansas anglers
Tale Waters & Tides/Projects
The Lab

Small things we ship above and below the surface.

Live products, AI experiments, and field-tested demos from the Tale Waters & Tides innovation lab. Some are real businesses. Some are playgrounds. All of them teach us something.

Same PFG engine, different states and species. Reskinning the live intelligence stack for partner DMOs and outdoor brands. We're proving the model is portable beyond Arkansas waters.
Pilot in scoping
Outdoor AI Field Notes
IN PROGRESS
