Trial membership at Musconetcong trout club available for Fall

[AlexFord13]

Greetings all,

 

I am the head guide at the Lodge at River Valley. We are currently looking for up to 5 individuals to join as trial members for the fall fishing season, September 15 - December 15.

 

Our piece of the Musconetcong is just shy of two miles, and has an extremely high rate of holdover fish. With our absolute cap of 20 members, you will often be the only person on the whole stretch. We do stock it, but with an aim to keep fish around for a long time and to keep up with a family of bald eagles! We are 100% fly fishing only / catch & release.

 

The trial membership will run from September 15 - December 15, spanning ideal fall fishing conditions on the Musconetcong which means lots of aggressive streamer takes and colored up brookies, browns, and rainbows. The total cost will be $1700 for four months of pristine trout fishing on one of the New Jersey's most beautiful and undeveloped stretches of river, only an hour from downtown Manhattan. More information and pictures are available at www.thelodgeatrivervalley.com.

 

If you are interested in joining for 2018, annual membership dues at the Lodge are $5700, with a $12,000 initiation which can be paid over the course of 3 years. Most of that goes towards maintenance of the club and the river, but we are also in the process of building a sporting clays course on the Lodge grounds. We currently host 4 clay shoots a year at the Lodge, and we will be hosting our first wing shoot this fall. Bow hunting memberships are also available for the season.

 

There are no guest fees at the Lodge, and you are free to stay overnight in one of the lodge's 3 rooms with a small cleaning charge. Also included with membership are golf and dining privileges at Hawk Pointe, a course just down the road from the lodge.

 

Please contact me at alexanderford120@gmail.com if you are interested and we will find a day for you to come out for a guided day of fishing.

 

Cheers & tight lines

 

Alex Ford

There are many of these in NJ and many date back to the 1800s and early 1900s.  I have restored many of their trout waters and likely will get to most of them over time.  You might be surprised how many private hunting and fishing or just fishing clubs exist with clubhouses and large sections of trout streams and rivers flowing through them.

Too much $$ for most tastes.  Good luck to those who have it and want to spend it.
