We are hosting a charity auction – not just any auction – we have assembled some fantastic lots—and all in aid of Fishing for Schools. 

Amongst the lots are some truly unique opportunities to fish sublime locations from tranquil streams, to lonely marshes and the salt;  also, an all too rare chance to fish and be guided by inspirational anglers and coaches.
