How to join as a venue

We’re looking for 5 to 10 pilot venues this winter. It’s free, it takes a few emails, and you stay in control. Here’s exactly what happens.

Email about the venue pilot
Five steps

From hello to your first poster

  1. Check your page

    Tell us you’re interested and we’ll send you what your venue page on the map says today: prices, species, facilities, opening hours and booking link.

  2. Send corrections

    Reply with anything that’s wrong or missing. We check every change before it goes live.

  3. Get your first poster

    We send a print-ready “log your catch here” QR poster (A4 and A5) for the lodge or ticket hut. Scanning it opens your venue page.

  4. Get your weekly picture

    Every Monday during the pilot we make a catch picture for your Facebook or Instagram, with a suggested caption, and email it to you. It’s made by us, not automatic.

  5. Tell us what works

    Your feedback shapes what we build next.

What we need from you

  • A yes by email, and the name of the venue
  • Corrections to your page, and the link to your own booking page if you have one
  • Somewhere to put the poster, and an email address for the weekly picture
  • A few minutes of honest feedback now and then

See what a pilot venue gets, including a sample weekly picture and poster.

Who suits the pilot

  • Day-ticket coarse and carp
  • Trout stillwater
  • Reservoir
  • Match waters
  • Specimen waters

Owners and managers who’ll check their page and post the weekly picture. We’re not claiming any anglers fish at your venue yet: the app is new, and the pilot is how we find out together.

Questions

Venue questions

What does it cost?

Nothing. The pilot is free. We may add an optional paid “Venue Pro” later, and pilot venues would get a founding discount. There’s no obligation either way.

What happens with anglers’ privacy?

Anglers choose what they share. We never publish an angler’s exact swim, and your page only shows catches that anglers choose to share from your water. See the privacy policy.

What about under-18s?

Anyone under 18 never appears on a venue page.

Can I have a catch or a page hidden or removed?

Yes. Email us and we’ll review the request within 24 hours.

Do you take bookings or a cut?

No. We don’t take bookings or a cut. Your page can link to your own booking page, and that stays between you and your customers.

How do anglers find my venue on the map?

Your venue appears on the CatchTank map and in the fisheries list once the app is out, and the QR poster in your lodge or ticket hut opens your venue page directly.

Do I need an account or a login?

No. There are no venue accounts or logins. We make and email your weekly picture during the pilot, and you tell us about any changes by email.

Are there anglers at my venue already?

We can’t say yet. CatchTank launches in early December 2026, and the pilot is how we find out together.

Ready, or just curious?

Ask anything first. A quick email is all it takes.
