Private fishing ponds

Private water. Booked by the hour or the day.

PondShare connects anglers with private ponds — and helps landowners earn from water they already own. You set the price, the hours, and the rules.

Free to join · Secure Stripe payments · No listing fees

Two ways in

Fish it, or host it

For anglers

Fish water nobody else can

Public spots are crowded and picked over. PondShare gives you access to private ponds with a clear price, clear rules, and no guesswork about whether you're allowed to be there.

  • Search ponds near you with photos, species, and access details
  • Book an hourly slot or a full day, whichever the host offers
  • Message your host before you arrive
  • Pay securely in the app — no cash, no awkward conversations

For pond owners

Your pond can pay for itself

If you own water, you own an asset that sits idle most of the year. List it in about ten minutes, approve the bookings you want, and get paid to your bank account.

  • You keep 100% of your rate — anglers pay the service fee, not you
  • Choose an hourly rate or a flat day rate with your own time window
  • Approve or decline every single request
  • Every angler signs a liability waiver before they book

Why private water

Public spots are crowded. Private ponds sit quiet most of the year.

PondShare is the simple, agreed-upon way to connect the two — with a clear price, clear rules, and permission you can count on.

How it works

Three steps either way

  1. 1

    Search near you

    Find private ponds on the map with photos, species, rules, and price.

  2. 2

    Request your date and time

    Pick an hourly slot or a full day — whichever the host offers.

  3. 3

    Fish

    Pay in the app, and message your host through it.

Trust & safety

Built so both sides know where they stand

  • Secure payments

    Every booking is processed through Stripe. Cards only, no cash changing hands at the gate.

  • You approve every booking

    Hosts see who's asking, for when, and for how many people, and decide. Nothing is automatic.

  • Signed liability waiver

    Every angler agrees to a liability waiver before a booking can be completed.

    Read the waiver
  • Host-set rules

    Catch and release or keep, boats or bank only, hours, group size, what to bring. The host writes it, the angler agrees to it.

  • Payouts you can count on

    Funds are released to the host's connected bank account after the trip, on a 24-hour hold.
