Announcement: RareWaters partners with TroutRoutes
RareWaters and TroutRoutes announced today that the companies have entered into a strategic partnership. RareWaters and TroutRoutes will partner to increase awareness of unique private access opportunities in the RareWaters network, as well as the vast public water access through TroutRoutes’ technology. Together, the companies offer a complementary and comprehensive offering for both public and private access for all anglers. Additionally, anglers who sign up for a season pass with RareWaters will automatically be given a TroutRoutes PRO subscription, and RareWaters properties will be directly integrated into the TroutRoutes user interface.
Opening more fly fishing water access remains a priority for anglers around the country. Access comes in many forms, from public lands to private lands. While TroutRoutes has primarily focused on helping anglers discover public land access for trout waters, RareWaters has helped anglers unlock water access to private lands that otherwise wouldn’t be possible. Together, both companies share a vision of increasing access for all anglers.

This is an incredible partnership that will help TroutRoutes accelerate its mission to provide anglers with tools and resources to go further in the outdoors.
