Default Auction V 2011 Lot 51: River Towy Salmon

An eagerly anticipated lot! Generously donated by a true gentleman of Carmarthenshire.

To be taken in the prime time of late September or October. One day, one rod, for salmon on a very special part of the famous river Towy. Tackle and flies provided if required, lunch included. Also included are lots of anecdotes, tall tales, memorable myths, sexual sagas and boring ballads - all of them " you know, proper Welsh"

If you've ever wondered "what they're like", this is a marvellous opportunity to mix your understandable curiosity with some marvellous scenery and fishing. Happy bidding.

Beg, borrow or steal to win this one! The day and a half I spent with this gentleman/men was some of the best I have ever experienced. The fishing wasn't bad either..
I'd bid again, but people will talk!

Thanks for the kind regards chaps, but this is very much a day with the famous Cothi, not me.

You may even see the confluence where his name-sake meets the Towy.

I dropped the berry in a stream,
And caught a little silver trout.
