The Angling Trust has announced today that it is holding a fundraising auction to raise funds to support its work fighting to protect and improve angling and fisheries.

All the funds raised will contribute to the work of the Angling Trust and its legal arm, Fish Legal, taking action against polluters who damage its members’ fisheries.

There are over 60 lots on offer for coarse, game and sea anglers which include:
• An amazing “Coulam 15 Defender” fishing boat tailor made for the winning bidder
• Celebrity fishing days with Martin James, Alex Bones, Barney Wright and Lois Noble
• Club and Syndicate memberships
• Guest days on exclusive private waters
