Be one of six lucky bidders to join our Trout Social with John Horsey event at the stunning Hobby Lake in Reading.
Generously donated by Sportfish as part of their ongoing support of our Anglers Against Pollution campaign, this event on Friday 11th October 2024 promises to be special.
Our host for the day is Angling Trust Ambassador and one of the leading fly anglers in the world. He has captained England Fly-Fishing teams at World Championship, European Championship, Loch Style and River levels and has been a professional guide for more than 20 years so you'll be in excellent hands.
Hobby Lake is named after the bird species which used to frequent the area in numbers.
- The lake has abundant fly life, so offers superb floating line fishing with nymphs or dry fly.
- An exclusive Lake only usually available for corporate bookings.
- Spring-fed with crystal clear water clarity and depths from 3 to 15ft
- Stocked with fin-perfect rainbow, blue, brown, golden, sparctic and tiger trout well into double figures.
Lunch and refreshments will be provided at the onsite Hobby Lodge and each winning bidder will receive an amazing goody bag to commemorate the event. Angling Trust staff, including our CEO Jamie Cook, will also be on hand to discuss our work and demonstrate the work of our Water Quality Monitoring Network.
There are six places available and each lot offers an identical day - simply make sure you are the highest bidder on your lot and you will win the place on offer.

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.
