Private water is made possible through responsible, club-vetted access. Participating clubs approve their members and maintain the relationships that give anglers access to these properties.
Why access starts with a club
It's not an open marketplace
Every angler reaches private water through a fly-fishing club, and the club decides who its members are.
Vetting is the whole mechanism
A landowner opens a gate because a club they trust vouched for the people coming through it — not because someone paid a fee online.
You can look before you apply

Acceptance is not guaranteed. Clubs set their own membership criteria, initiation fees, and annual dues, and AnglerPass does not decide who they admit.
AnglerPass launched with the Rocky Mountain Angling Club and its private water, which is concentrated in Colorado with a property in Wyoming and one in Virginia. We are onboarding more clubs and landowners now.
What it costs
- Creating an AnglerPass account is free.
- There is no required angler subscription — you never need to pay AnglerPass to have an account.
- Participating clubs set their own dues and any initiation fee.
- Landowners set the rod fee for each property, and it varies by water.
- AnglerPass adds a 15% platform fee on top of the rod fee at checkout, shown in full before you confirm.
- Angler Pro is an optional paid membership for rewards and priority. It is never required to book.
“I recently used AnglerPass to schedule two fishing days with RMAC. AnglerPass is an easy-to-use application that makes reserving fishing property easy. Once you reserve a property, you will receive emails with your reservation #, reminders, and directions. I highly recommend this application.”
