Fish Pass has been designed to be a digital update to the Peak Angling Passport Scheme. All the function of the website – the traditional tokens and the ease of fishing that the passport gives – has been reformed into an app for either iPhone or Android devices. As many of our rivers lie deep within a valley with no reception, much of the functionality of the app has been made to work offline.
Beyond the app, we recommend taking a look at our angling guide packed with useful info and things you must know before you go.

Enjoy your day’s fishing!
Use the ‘Explore Beats’ tab to browse all the available river sections in the app. All beats are up-to-date with information and restrictions and a map of the exact beat boundaries. You can also navigate to the beat with your phone’s GPS. Please be aware to check the location of the beat you are purchasing tokens for, as most of the beats listed on the app are found in Devon and Cornwall, UK.
To go fishing, you will need tokens. In this section, you can top up your balance using either a PayPal account or a valid debit or credit card. Simply choose whether to buy five or ten tokens and you will be led through the payment process. Once done, your account balance will be topped up and be available to use for fishing immediately. Unlike its predecessor, Peak Angling Passport tokens, Fish Pass tokens have no expiry date, so there is no need to try and use them up before the year end. There is also a third option to scan a paper token. This converts a passport token to a Fish Pass token.
Once you have some tokens in your account, it’s as simple as getting to the river of your choice, finding the token box where you will see a Fish Pass sign, and using this button to bring up the scanner. Scanning the Fish Pass label at the beat will take the appropriate number of tokens from your account and bring up a ‘boarding pass’, which is you proof of permission to fish. When you have finished fishing, you just submit your catch return and you will be ready to fish another wild beat.
As the name suggests, this is the place to find your personal details such as contact information, rod license number etc. You can also view at a glance how your season has been going, with a basic list of catches. There is also a list of your purchases so you can keep track of when and when you topped up and redeemed fishing. Finally, this is the place to find our Terms and Conditions.
The app will only let you fish the beats listed, and will only show you your nearest 30 beats. If you can’t see the beat you want to fish, navigate closer to the area and refresh the beat list. Once you can see the beat, the ‘go fishing’ button will let you scan the code.
