Private Trout Club on the Musky Membership Rates Dropped

[Alex Ford]

Hey all

I've posted in here before but wanted to announce some news about membership at the Lodge at River Valley (www.thelodgeatrivervalley.com).

We have two miles of private water on the Musconetcong and a member's lodge with locker rooms and 3 guest rooms, capable of sleeping up to 10. Fishing is truly excellent, with 9 defined pools and tons of riffles and pocket water to fish between them. We are 100% fly fishing, catch and release only.

This year, we are reducing annual rates to $3750 a year from $5400 beginning in March 2019. This will include a member's locker, unlimited fishing access, and 3 nights at the Lodge at cleaning cost of $150.

This new arrangement will also allow us to commit to a heavier stocking program. We have plans to stock more and bigger trout earlier this year and engage in supplemental feeding practices to retain and grow fish in the natural system.

At present, we have 16 active members. We are setting a target to reach 25 active members over a season or two. Please let us know if you have anyone in mind who might be interested in joining. I am available by email at alexanderford120@gmail.com

Additionally, we are having an open house for potential new members tomorrow Saturday, February 23 from 10-noon. Please RSVP to my email if you'd like to take a tour of the property and meet the owner Rich.

Cheers & tight lines!
