I’ve never done the whole pay to play type of thing, but figure it could be a fun distraction at some point. Anyone have any favorite private waters?

I pay to fish waters that are properly managed for the fish, crowd-managed (limited number of anglers per day), and provide opportunities that can’t be found on public ground without long arduous hikes,\* if even then\*. To me, its worth it. Many of them still have tougher fishing than the public waters surrounding them because they’re spring creeks, and naturally challenging. I wish there were more that only charged a daily fee and did not require a guided trip and/or lodging package. I’d fish them all the time if I could. The ones I fish are in Montana.
