New platform connects anglers, fly fishing clubs, private water landowners, and guides in one marketplace — launching July 1, 2026
DENVER, CO — June 3, 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 in the evening light. And between you and that water: a locked gate, a No Trespassing sign, and no idea who to call.
AnglerPass (anglerpass.com) launches July 1, 2026 as the first platform built to connect all four participants in the private water fly fishing ecosystem — anglers, clubs, landowners, and guides — in a single marketplace.
The problem is simple and stubborn. Private water access runs on handshakes, spreadsheets, and word of mouth. Clubs manage rosters in Excel. Landowners have no reliable way to vet who’s walking their property. Anglers without the right connections can’t find bookable water. Guides operate in silos with no standardized credential verification. AnglerPass brings all of it onto one platform — without stripping away the trust, community, and stewardship that make private water worth protecting.
“I built AnglerPass because I got tired of watching great water sit empty while good anglers couldn’t find access,” said founder Dan Jahn. “The clubs, the landowners, the guides — they’re already doing the hard work of protecting these fisheries. We just give them better tools and connect them to each other.”
How It Works
Every angler on AnglerPass belongs to a fly fishing club, and every property is managed by a club. That’s by design — clubs are the vetting layer landowners trust and anglers respect.
Anglers browse and book private trout streams, spring creeks, ranch ponds, and tailwaters with instant confirmation. Gate codes and access instructions arrive automatically before the trip. Post-trip reviews keep the system honest.
The real unlock is cross-club access. A single club membership can open water managed by partner clubs across the network for a $25 per rod reciprocal access fee. That kind of reach has never existed digitally in fly fishing.
Built for Clubs, Not Against Them
AnglerPass doesn’t bypass clubs — it makes them stronger. Club managers get a full operations platform: online membership applications, dues and fee collection through Stripe, member directories, property management, and role-based staff permissions.
Launching July 1
AnglerPass goes live July 1, 2026 at anglerpass.com. Anglers, club managers, landowners, and guides each select their role for a tailored onboarding experience. Early access is open now.
