Welcome to the first ever Fishing for Schools auction.
This is such an exciting departure from our usual fundraising activities and an opportunity to celebrate the fabulous offers of support that we receive from so many of you who care about Fishing for Schools.
Amongst the lots there are some truly unique opportunities to fish amid sublime locations and a rare chance to do so with inspirational anglers and coaches. A chance then, to learn some new skills, or simply acquire some very unusual lots.
The funds raised will directly support young people taking part in Fishing for Schools. Our coaching team travel across England and Wales, working with young people from diverse backgrounds and abilities, all of whom benefit from time outdoors and learning new skills. For many, it’s their first experience of fishing, offering a chance to try a sport they may not otherwise have access to. The benefits are wide-ranging, helping those who struggle to
engage in traditional learning and those with special educational needs, while building confidence and new skills.

Similarly to the Upper Itchen, this lyric stretch of river is, arguably, some of the very finest fly fishing for trout (and grayling ) you will find anywhere in the world. This exceptional and intriguing water is full of variety, prolific insect hatches and abundant trout and grayling. This amazing water has to be fished to be believed.
One of the finest fly fishing experiences for two fly fishers, imaginable. Charles Jardine will guide. To be taken in the 2026 season.

River Nadder Fishing - Approximately 2.5 miles of double Bank Fishing downstream of the A30 at Barford St Martin. The fishery has been wild for approximately 16 years and has a rich supply of brown trout averaging 10-12 inches. However there are numerous fish in the 14-17 inch range that will put a serious bend in the rod and the occasional trophy specimen up to 3lbs. We recommend an 8'6 #4 or #5 rod. Grayling are throughout the beats up to about 15 inches but average 10 inches.
The fishery banks are well kept but it is still a technical river and better suited to experienced fisherman and comprises numerous hatch-pools, runs and glides as it meanders through the water meadows and woodlands of the Wilton Estate.
DATES: Anytime within the 2025 season.
TO NOTE: the River Nadder is a Greensand river and will colour up after heavy rain. This typically clears after 48hrs but we would recommend being open to flexibility in respect of this and your agreed fishing day.
Fishing is catch and release with the option to keep a 12–14 inch fish.
Due to livestock, we would request our much-loved dogs remain at home.

A day’s guided fishing for two rods on, what can only be described as the nearest thing to fly fishing heaven you will find.

Your guide will be Charles Jardine; to be taken by mutual agreement in the 2026 season .

Fred has been guiding for the past 12 years, both in the fresh water and salt, and is without question one of our best up and coming fly fishers – authoritative, fun and engaging.
Since returning to the UK, Fred has turned his attention to targeting the UK’s biggest predatory trout with streamers. Fishing with streamers is an exciting way to target the bigger fish in river systems especially during high water conditions or low light. If the conditions on the day don’t allow for streamers, you will be targeting large trout with dry flies!
You will have a blast!
Location and date to be organised between winner and Fred.

This lot is extraordinary, especially if you like a great raconteur, early summer mornings, Cuban jazz, great coffee and casting the elusive mullet and bass - all done with one of the best, if not THE best Guides, along the south coast of England.
This will make for an unforgettable experience for a couple of anglers who crave something a little different.
To be taken during the summer - and by arrangement with the donor.

There is something beautifully prehistoric about Pike; a fish that is a source of legend, fear and folklore. There are few better in the UK to help you in the quest to catching "the freshwater shark" than our own Fishing for Schools Coach, Kevin Durman, who must be one of this country's finest specialist anglers.
A two persons lot, to be taken by mutual agreement.

Any day on the River Test is very special, but some are a little more special than others. Here is a rare opportunity to fish with one of this country's leading guides and fly casting instructors – Gilly Bate.
Gilly will need little introduction to anyone with a knowledge of the Test Valley. This effervescent personality has charmed both clients and trout for many seasons. Her expertise and sheer passion for the sport is a wonder.
Here is a scintillating opportunity for two fishers to spend a day in her company that will be packed with instruction, enjoyment, laughter – and probably a good many trout.
Area: Lower Mill on the River Test (Wading beat, best for experienced anglers)
To be taken by mutual agreement in the 2026 season.

A 24-hour tench fishing tutorial with the fabled Tenchfishers for four.
When this lot becomes available to the angling community, it sells out almost as fast as a Led Zeppelin reunion concert. There will be laughter, bite alarms, fun, angling insights you never imagined; there will bivvies, boiles, worms, maggots, and a cornucopia of potions and concoctions dedicated to catch the fish of summer - Tench. Did we mention bank side BBQ and curry?
Venue to be determined. To be taken in 2026.

When bidding on an auction item, if you enter more than the minimum increment for an item then your bid will be used for proxy bidding. This is how it works:
1. You enter the absolute maximum that you are willing to bid for an item.
2. jumblebee places a bid on your behalf, using the minimum amount required to make you the highest bidder, i.e. current bid price plus bid increment OR the reserve price, if there is one and it can be covered by your proxy bid.
3. jumblebee continues to bid on your behalf, whenever you are outbid by another
member's bid, until your maximum bid is exceeded or the auction is won.
4. jumblebee will notify you by email if your maximum bid is outbid by another member and provided the auction is still running, you will then have a chance to enter a new
maximum bid if you wish.
For example:
The current bid on an auction item is £100. The minimum increment is £10. You enter a bid of £150 (your maximum bid).
Using your bid, but increasing only by the minimum increment, jumblebee sets the current bid to £110.
Another person bids £130 but they are immediately outbid by jumblebee bidding on your behalf and the current bid goes up to £140.
The auction finishes and you have won the auction item at a price of £140.
