From world-class fly fishing adventures and exclusive conservation experiences to original artwork and unique gifts, the Atlantic Salmon Trust’s annual fundraising auction is officially open – and every bid helps support the recovery of one of our most iconic species.
This year’s auction brings together an exciting collection of over 100 exceptional lots, including unique experiences, rare items and once-in-a-lifetime opportunities – all in support of wild Atlantic salmon conservation.
Whether you’re looking for an unforgettable adventure, a special gift for someone, or simply an opportunity to make a difference, this year’s auction offers something for everyone.
Behind every lot is a purpose: helping to secure a brighter future for wild Atlantic salmon.
Extraordinary experiences for an extraordinary cause
This year’s auction features a fantastic range of generously donated lots, with some truly special highlights.
For passionate anglers, there are opportunities to fish in spectacular locations, including Norway’s renowned Olderø Fly Fishing Lodge and Tingvoll Lodge. With the chance to encounter a fish of a lifetime, these are experiences not to be missed.
Closer to home, bidders can secure exclusive behind-the-scenes visits to the Atlantic Salmon Trust’s flagship conservation projects, including Project Deveron, Project Laxford, Save the Spring on the River Dee, and Project White Hart on England’s iconic chalk streams. These unique experiences offer a rare opportunity to meet the people working on the front line of salmon recovery and discover the science and restoration work taking place.
The collection also includes beautiful original artwork, fascinating collector’s pieces, outdoor experiences and an array of distinctive gifts, with plenty to appeal to anglers and non-anglers alike.
Every bid supports a bigger mission
Wild Atlantic salmon are in trouble. Once abundant in our rivers, their populations have declined dramatically, with the species now classified as Endangered in Great Britain by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
But there is hope – and there is much we can do. At the Atlantic Salmon Trust, we’re working with partners across the country to restore rivers, reconnect habitats, advance our understanding of salmon survival and build healthier, more resilient catchments. From the headwaters of our rivers to the open ocean, we’re combining science, practical restoration and collaboration to give wild salmon the best possible chance of recovery.
Every bid in this year’s auction contributes to that mission. By taking part, you’re not just securing something special – you’re helping support real action for wild salmon and the rivers they depend upon.
