🐟 Fish Species & Size

If you’re chasing a personal best or targeting something specific, this section is for you!

1️⃣ Under Fish Species & Size, choose your target species — like Carp, Catfish, or Pike.

2️⃣ Select the weight range you’re interested in, such as Over 10lbs or Over 20lbs.

3️⃣ Tap Add More + to include multiple species in one search.

💡 Example: Want to find a venue that stocks Leather Carp over 20lbs and Pike over 10lbs?
Just select both species with their weight ranges, hit Save Changes, and swimbooker will find the perfect match!

🧹 Clearing or Saving

Once you’ve set your filters:

Tap Save Changes to apply your search.
Tap Clear All to reset everything and start over.

Your refined results will instantly show only the venues that meet your chosen preferences.

🧭 Final Tip

The Advanced Search is perfect for discovering new venues that fit your exact style of fishing — whether that’s a quiet membership lake with 24-hour access or a family-friendly site that welcomes young anglers. 🌿

If you’re not finding what you expect, try widening your filters or removing one or two options — sometimes the perfect venue is just a click away!
