In conjunction with the Children’s Hospice Association Scotland (CHAS), Charity Fly Fishing Competition to be held at the lake of Menteith on Saturday 15 May. I would like to offer as auction, the opportunity for 3 rods to fish the Kinermony beat of the River Spey on Saturday 28th August. This offer will not only be confined to this forum and is open to anglers of any standard. Spey Casting instruction will be given free of charge, if required.

The lot will go to the highest bidder by 6pm on the 14th May as the fee will be handed over to event organiser Kevin McCabe and added to the total raised at the Lake of Menteith. If the date is unsuitable, I will be able to arrange an alternative day in September. As a guide, one daily rod at that time of year normally costs around £80-100.

The Childrens Hospice Association of Scotland (CHAS) charity competition at the Lake of Menteith yesterday raised in total over £7000. The Salmon fishing Forum - linked above - contributed £1200 to that total and I'd just like to thank all those kind enough to donate lots and of course those most generous to bid for them. A very worthy charity who are most grateful of the donation.
