| Well another season has begun ! | |
|
|
| Winter was spent repainting the interior of the guest cottage suites, pottering in the garden and dealing with the local council so we can build 2 more guest cottage suites. Jude our chef & Cheryl our housekeeper have signed on for yet another season of good times & laughter. This year, they are joined by Jessie who is our new hostess. |

| Our other new team member is Keeley the lodge dog. She is a Golden Retriever / Labrador cross and has developed a unique ability to spot trout – or so Felix thinks… | |
 |
|
|
|
| Our first guests of the year were a group of 5 fly fishing novices from Queensland. And what a time Anthony, Eddie, Greg, Stephen & Ray had!!! In the 3 days the lads spent fishing at the lodge they landed 21 brown trout – including a 6.5lb brown landed by Eddie, a 7.5lber landed by Anthony & a 9lber landed by Stephen. | |

| Over the next few months… | |
| Many of our guests from previous seasons have rebooked to join us once again. I look forward to welcoming them back! | |
| Remember you are a stranger only once at Owen River Lodge. | |
