Wild Trout Trust Auction 2009

I've always been a keen supporter of the Wild Trout Trust (WTT) right from when it started out as the Wild Trout Society. The ideas of preserving and restoring habitat to the point where not only wild trout but all wildlife ultimately benefit are spot on.

As a fly fisher it makes sense to support this cause. It not only preserves our fishing for future generations, it shows our sport in a positive light, so often ignored by the wider media. Instead of been seen to harm wildlife with fishing line, we are protecting it, which is exactly what fishery environments do both in still and running water.

Anyway the 2009 WTT auction commences on the 30th March, with internet bids closing on Wednesday 8th April (postal bids close 6th April). Once again, Midlands Flyfishing has donated a guided day as one of the auction lots. This year it will be a day's grayling fishing on the Derbyshire Wye in association with Cressbrook Litton Fly Fishers Club.

For further information on the auction and lots available, check out the WTT website at Wild Trout Trust and if you are not already a member, I recommend looking at membership options, they are very reasonable.
