Watch Current Conditions Using Recent Lake Imagery
One of onX Fish’s standout features is its access to recent satellite imagery. In open-water season, this showcases current water levels, vegetation growth, and weed lines. During the early ice season, Recent Imagery can reveal information about ice development and overall safety, and inform anglers on fishing pressure. Use this feature to stay up to speed on your favorite lake’s conditions.

“We know the same lakes in topographic depressions, that are shallower, and are north enough to get the cold weather will build ice first, every year. Even before ice-up, I’ve been using onX Fish to scout which lakes will be “live” before others. I can’t wait for people to start driving on the ice so I can use recent imagery to see where I should and shouldn’t be spending my time fishing this winter.”
