More income. More reach. Your terms.
The advice you give away — at the ramp, in the DMs, on the phone — becomes a revenue channel that grows your guiding business: threads, calls and reports that pay you between trips and put your name in front of anglers far beyond your home water.
Replies between trips, from your phone. No minimums, cap your spots, pause for the season whenever.
How it works
You bring the knowledge. We do the busywork.
We build your profile with you
Send us your waters, species and a few photos — we set the page up, you approve it. No website admin, no forms marathon.
Set your offer and your price
Advice threads, video calls, monthly regional reports — any mix, your rates, your availability.
Answer on your time, get paid
Reply to threads between trips. Take calls in slots that suit you. Payouts are set up with the founding cohort directly — you'll know how the money moves before you list.
Five subscribers pays your fuel. Here's the ceiling.
Illustrative only — your numbers depend on your rates and reach.
Founding guides keep 100% of it — zero platform fee, locked to your account.
Why list on Reachwater
Built by anglers who know how the marketplaces treat operators.
No commission on your trips
We don't sit between you and your charter bookings and we don't poach your clients. Advice is a new line on the books — not a tax on the one you have.
Earn on the days you can't guide
Off-season, blown-out days, the long drive home — the hours that used to cost you money become recurring income.
Reach anglers beyond your home water
Travelling anglers plan months ahead and pay for proof. Be the local they call before they book flights.
You set the price
Your expertise, your rate. Position high or build a following with an accessible thread — entirely your call.
The questions guides actually ask
Straight answers, before you give us an email.
Does this compete with my charter business?
No — and it's designed not to. We take no commission on your guided trips, we don't sit between you and your bookings, and we don't poach your clients. Advice is a new, separate income line. If anything, an advice thread is where your next charter client comes from.
How much time does it really take?
Around 20 minutes a day for a typical thread load, from your phone, whenever suits you. You cap how many anglers you take, there are no minimums, and you can pause when the season's flat out.
Who are these anglers?
Locals who want to stop guessing and travelling anglers planning a trip to your water — people who've chosen to pay for your judgement rather than scrape forums. Paying anglers ask better questions and actually follow the plan.
Do anglers get my number or my socials?
No. Every thread and call runs through Reachwater — anglers never see your phone number, email or personal accounts. The “quick question” DMs move off your personal Instagram and into a place where they pay.
How and when do I get paid?
Subscriptions and call fees are paid out to your account. We're onboarding the founding cohort now and setting payouts up with the first guides directly — you'll know exactly how the money moves before you list.
What does it cost me?
Nothing upfront — no listing fee, no subscription. Reachwater takes a small percentage of each advice sale, so we only earn when you do, and you'll see the exact rate before you list. Founding guides are the exception: 100% of advice income, locked in.
One guide per region. Yours is open.
Guide onboarding is opening AU/NZ first. Join the waitlist and we'll get you set up.
