The Fly Fishing & Adventure Lodge Consultant
When it comes to fly fishing and specialist fishing lodges, I'm not just another consultant who’s going to throw fluff and industry jargon at you. With more than two decades of blood, sweat, and yes, some tears, running Owen River Lodge, I’ve fine-tuned what makes a world-class fishing lodge.
We get the intangible. We know your clients. We know fishing.

Fly fishing isn't just a sport for our guests; it’s a passion, a way of life. They’re not just looking for a place to cast their flies; they're searching for that unparalleled experience. They want to hear the call of the river, the thrill of the catch, and the lore of the land. They demand local knowledge that's as deep as the river itself. This isn’t about generic luxury; it’s about curated, authentic experiences that resonate with the soul of a fisherman or fisherwoman.
A curated experience.
At Owen River Lodge, we became specialists by listening to the rustle of the leaves, understanding the whispers of the water, and respecting the dance of the fly. Our accolades speak for themselves:
• World's first Carbon Positive fishing lodge
• Only fishing lodge in the world to be B Corp certified
• Repeat guest visitation rate that soars over 42% per season.
• ... and the list goes on!
But what the trophies don’t show is the countless moments of joy shared, the silent nods of satisfaction from our guests, and the serene sunsets that capped off perfect days by the water. The call of the river is strong, and for lodges dedicated to the art of fly fishing or any specialised retreat, getting the details right is not just a service, it's respect for the sport and the guest.
Let us help you deliver daydreams.
With my gorgeous wife, Kylie Sargeant, we’re not just offering you advice; we’re offering you the very essence of what made us a success. From increasing your occupancy and profitability to perfecting guest experiences, we’ll share our secrets. We’ll help you develop a team that knows the value of the catch and the importance of sustainable, responsible practices that honour the spirit of the sport.
