For Immediate Release
AnglerPass: The Operating System for Private-Water Fly Fishing
Network of fly fishing clubs, landowners, anglers, and independent guides operating on a single platform — now live to all four roles
Denver, CO — May 2026
Every fly fisher knows the feeling. You’re driving through ranch country, and there it is — a spring creek bending through cottonwoods, risers dimpling the surface. And between you and that water: a locked gate and no idea who to call.
AnglerPass (anglerpass.com) is the operating system for the private-water access ecosystem — the platform fly fishing clubs, landowners, anglers, and independent guides operate on. The platform is live today — clubs, landowners, anglers, and independent guides can all sign up now.
Private-water access today runs on handshakes, spreadsheets, and knowing the right people. Clubs manage rosters in Excel. Landowners can’t easily vet who’s on their property. Anglers without connections can’t find bookable water. Independent guides operate with no standardized verification. AnglerPass brings all of it onto one platform without stripping away the trust and stewardship that make private water worth protecting.
“I built this because I got tired of watching great water sit empty while good anglers couldn’t find access,” said founder Dan Jahn. “Clubs, landowners, and independent guides are already doing the hard work. We give them better tools and connect them to each other.”
The model is simple: every angler belongs to a club, and every property is held by a club. Clubs remain the vetting layer that landowners trust and anglers respect. AnglerPass doesn’t bypass that relationship — it strengthens it.
The standout feature is cross-club access. A single club membership can unlock water managed by partner clubs across the network. That kind of reach has never existed digitally in fly fishing.
For independent guides, AnglerPass introduces rigorous verification — background checks through Checkr, credential monitoring, and automatic suspension when licenses or insurance lapse. Every independent guide on the platform is verified before they meet a client.
An AI trip planner called AnglerPass Compass rounds out the angler experience with personalized recommendations based on water conditions, hatch timing, and gear.
AnglerPass is live now at anglerpass.com. Anglers, club managers, landowners, and independent guides each select their role for tailored onboarding at sign-up.
