Frequently-Asked Questions

1. What are the key benefits of belonging to HomeWaters versus other options?
With HomeWaters, you will have access to the largest portfolio of private trout streams in North America at a fraction of what it would cost to own comparable property.  In addition, club concierge services ensure that valuable getaway time is spent fishing rather than attending to travel details and demands

2. How far will I have to travel to HomeWaters?
If you are driving from within the Connecticut-Washington DC-Columbus, Ohio triangle, HomeWaters East is only 2-3 hours away, in the rolling farmlands and hills of Pennsylvania. From Colorado’s Vail and Steamboat Springs, a 10-90 minute drive will bring you to nearly 50 miles of club waters and pristine streams.

3. How can HomeWaters always guarantee a place for me to fish?
HomeWaters maintains more than enough water to meet members’ needs. Membership is limited according to the number of “beats”—stretches of water that can support a full day of fishing for two people—currently in inventory.

4. Do I have to pre-schedule?
Ninety-five percent of our members do. All club waters are set up in beats to ensure completely secluded fishing. You are welcome to make a reservation anywhere from a day to a year in advance, depending on the membership level you have selected.

5. How many miles of water does the club manage?
HomeWaters cultivates and maintains an ever-expanding portfolio of private waters, currently about 75 miles worth, with plans to increase this inventory in the future.

6. What about plans for the future? Will HomeWaters be expanding?
In 2001, the club began with two miles and six members. We now have over 75 miles and 180 members. During the next decade, HomeWaters will continue to explore expansion opportunities.

7. In addition to a family membership, can I bring friends who are not related?
Members may bring and sponsor guests at the Club depending upon the level of membership they have selected.

8. Are HomeWaters fishing guides mandatory?
Our guides are hands down the best in the business. But no, about 30 percent of club properties are considered “guide-optional.”

9. Will there be opportunities to own a cabin on one of the club properties?
Yes. HomeWaters began offering its first cabins for sale in 2009. Offering is available by prospectus, in person only.

10. Will I catch fish?
Absolutely. No “skunk” days. As close to a sure thing as you can get.
