Default Lot 7 - A days fishing on a private beat of the River Monnow

This was one of our star attractions last year and an absolutely fantastic day out. Many thanks go to Tigermoth again for his generous donation and continued support of the charity

The lot consists of....................

"One Day... One Rod... Fly Fishing fun on a very private beat of the River Monnow, guided and catered for by Tigermoth.

The day will start at 8:30am sharp with a delicious breakfast at The Bell Skenfrith... where tactics, approaches and expectations can all be talked out of all proportion over rashers of delightful local bacon and superb sausages. From here, after gazing over over the bridge at the river, you will be whisked to a special piece of water where hopefully, the wild trout will be eager to reward your generosity.

Lunch will be uncomplicated: beer and steak. Be prepared to fish long and hard!"


This is a fantastic lot and was one of our most sought after items in last years auctions. You will not be dissapointed!!

This auction will end at 21:00 (forum time) on 11th April 2010

Can we start the bidding at £20

I bought this lot last year. It is a lovely piece of water (far too good for a dry fly incompetent like me) and Dave is an excellent host. I had a great day (even without breakfast at the Bell) so if anybody is wondering about this one, take my advice and bid bid bid!

Regards

Peter

Default Monnow Day

I already have several days on the Monnow this year, but can you ever have too many?

Only 36 hours left on the bidding on this lot. This is a fantastic day out and was one of our 'star' lots last year.

You will not be dissapointed if you win this!!

I wasn't going to bid, having won it last year I decided that somebody else should have the honour this year......but honestly, £75 for brekky at the Bell, steak lunch, private Monnow beat and TM for company......I couldn't let it go for that! I didn't expect to have the winning bid though, not that I'm complaining

PM sent Dave

Regards
Peter
