New owners for Wodonga mainstay Bluey’s Hunting and Fishing

Husband and wife duo Kaine and Sophie Edwards recently purchased 35 year old Wodonga business, Bluey’s Hunting and Fishing.

With a passion of the outdoors and keen fly fishers themselves, the couple set to put their love into practice and share their expertise with the community.

Bluey’s Hunting and Fishing specialises in all things hunting, fishing and outdoors, offering a range of products as well as knowledgeable experience and advice.

Sophie said, “We hope to be a one-stop-shop for all things outdoors. Our staff are able to offer not only knowledge of products, but advice about most things hunting and fishing because we all live and breathe what we do.”

The team at Bluey’s consists of eight staff members who are local to the area and can answer any questions you have, from bow hunting to fly fishing and camping.

“Our favourite thing about owning the business is the people we have met, who are like minded and share a love for the outdoors,” said Sophie.

“We also get to spend a lot more time outdoors, fishing and hunting since owning the business, testing out new products and getting content for our socials.”

The team hosts various events and workshops in store, including fly fishing workshops, and hold Victorian Firearms License Test in store weekly. They are planning to hold future events workshops such as a Deer caping and Euro Nymphing workshops.

Sophie and Kaine also have exciting plans for the business in the works at the moment.

“We have just completed renovations in store and we are super excited about what we will now be able to offer our customers”, Sophie said.

“We are also currently working with some new brands which will add an even greater range of products to the store in the near future.”

Bluey’s Hunting and Fishing is currently hiring, so if you have a love for the outdoors and are interested in working at Bluey’s, drop in your resume in store.
