Catch Tracking
Rethinking the traditional fishing logbook through a digital experience designed around the habits and needs of anglers.
In Ticino, recording fishing activity has traditionally relied on paper-based logbooks. While familiar to anglers, this process creates limitations in accessibility, organisation and the management of collected data. Catch Tracking explores how this established practice could be translated into a more intuitive digital experience, making catch registration easier for anglers while supporting more efficient data collection for the relevant authorities.
The design process began by understanding the people behind the activity. Field research, surveys and interviews helped uncover behaviours, recurring frustrations and expectations. These findings were translated into personas, user journeys and information architecture, forming the foundation for the interface. Rather than simply reproducing a paper form on a screen, the goal was to preserve the familiarity of the traditional logbook while taking advantage of digital interaction.
