Welcome to the 2018 Salmon & Trout Conservation Annual Fundraising Dinner.

We work to protect and improve the overall environment of rivers for wild fish, focussing particularly on water quality and quantity; and to protect wild migratory fish. We have had a busy year. I give two examples:

The Scottish Parliamentary Committee Inquiries into salmon farming, which we were instrumental in securing and to which we gave detailed evidence, should be close to completion by the time you read this. We have already had the report of the Environment Committee which was strongly critical of the way in which salmon farming is currently operated in Scotland. They concluded that, “The status quo is not an option” and that, “The current consenting and regulatory framework .. is inadequate to address the environmental issues.” This is in itself a very significant step forward. We anticipate that the Rural Economy and Connectivity Committee report will also be critical and will make recommendations for significant change. It is crucial that we keep up the pressure over the next few years to ensure that those recommendations are implemented effectively and promptly, and to prevent unsustainable expansion of open cage farms in the interim.

Our River Fly Census has used three years of professional analysis of aquatic insects down to species level

to provide a detailed picture of the health of rivers. This will provide both a basis for lobbying for recognition of the true state of these rivers and the need for policy improvements; and an indication of particular problems and the likely causes, to provide a basis for action. The survey work has now been completed for 12 rivers and reports are being produced for each one. The task now is to extend this survey work to more rivers using a mixture of professionals and trained volunteers, and to use the results to support our programme of persuasion and action.

We do not receive any government funding and so the successes of the last year, and our continuing work to protect wild fish and their environment, is totally dependent upon our members, private donors and charitable foundations. That is why tonight is so important.

I hope you will have a very enjoyable evening, and please be generous in both the silent and live auctions. Our ability to continue with this important work depends on you!

Message from our Chairman, William Hicks Q.C.

I am really sorry not to be with you tonight. I intended to come and help celebrate your 115 years of extremely worthwhile existence but it has become impossible so I hope you have a great evening and that you will loosen your purse strings for some really amazing auction items, thereby supporting essential work to protect our rivers and their dwindling native inhabitants.

Our rivers are subjected to excessive abstraction and pollution from plastics, pesticides, herbicides, silage sap, road salt, phosphates and nitrates and their ecosystems are being attacked by non-native species like the signal crayfish and demon shrimp. Meanwhile, our wild salmon and sea trout stocks are being decimated by lice from the burgeoning salmon farming industry and are sharing their redds with thousands of farmed salmon escapees. We need government to take action before it is too late.

S&TC have done great work in trying to force the Scottish Government to take action on salmon farms, while the water quality initiative and river fly census has been successful in demonstrating the multiple problems in our rivers - problems that cannot be ignored. This has been achieved

with dedication backed up by sound science; the vital ingredients. I hope the new Agricultural Bill will reflect our findings and help to turn the tide by providing incentives for farmers and land managers to reverse at least some of the damage.

I hope the new HQ proves a great success and I would like to say a big thank you to Hardy’s for their help and commitment to our cause.

Message from the President, His Grace the Duke of Northumberland

A day and a night salmon and sea trout fishing for one rod on the Dovey, guided by Andy NicholsonWell known angling writer, broadcaster, TV presenter and Angling News Editor, Andy Nicholson, will guide one rod for a day’s salmon fishing followed by a night’s sea trout fishing on an exclusive and highly productive 15-mile beat. This is a beat Andy knows very well, as it is where he filmed his classic video, The Enigmatic Sea Trout. The River Dovey needs no introduction to sea trout anglers - an internationally famous river with a rich history of producing seriously big sea trout. The opportunity to fish on the New Dovey Association water with an experienced game angler is one not to be missed. Accommodation is not included but Andy will advise the successful bidder on where to stay locally if required. To be taken during the 2019 season on a mutually convenient date.

Guide price: £350.00Donated by: Andy Nicholson Esq. www.anglingnews.net

3S. Four days for two rods (or two days for four rods) Salmon fishing on the DeeFour days for two rods on different beats of the Dee, for two days on each beat. Alternatively, four rods may fish for two days, as each beat has the capacity for two rods. The beats are at Knappach, a few miles downstream of Banchory, and on Drumnagesk. Both beats have superb fly water, are relatively private, lightly fished and ideal for floating line fishing. Fishing by arrangement with the donor in the 2019 season.

Guide Price: £600.00Donated by: Victor Beamish Esq. and John Pelly Esq.

4S. An original oil painting by David MillerFor those fascinated by fish and watery places, David needs little introduction - his beautiful works in print form have graced countless anglers’ walls. For many years his work has featured on both the Environment Agency’s coarse and migratory fish licences. This year, we are lucky enough to have an original work by David. David’s subject matter in this instance is a sea trout - an exclusive opportunity to own a unique piece of artwork by a superb fish artist. 

Guide price: £600.00Donated by: David Miller Esq.

6S. One day for one gun flighting pink footed geese on Cockerham Marsh, Morecambe BayFlighting Pink Footed Geese on Cockerham Marsh on Morecambe Bay, south of Lancaster, guided by the donor. The purchaser needs to be sound in wind, limb and have appropriate insurance! A capacity for concealment and a fondness for mud are also desirable. The plan will be to go to the marsh pre-dawn, and flight the geese as they leave the roost on the high sands and go inland to feed at dawn. Whilst there are plenty of geese - 5,000-30,000 for much of last season - nothing is guaranteed, apart from mud and hardcore bird watching. This will be an experience which you will not forget. If the purchaser is game, we can repeat the process when the geese return at night.

The donor can provide an 8 bore, 10 bore or a semi-auto 12 bore and cartridges if required. Expected bag on average is half a goose! Doubtless, it will be hard work, but wildfowling is arguably the wildest, most fascinating and exhilarating sport of all! Are you ready for a serious dose of ”goose fever”? Date by arrangement in the 2019/2020 fowling season between 1st October and 25th January, excluding Saturdays

Here you are alone all day, fishing a mile of river for wild brown trout - shy fish that rise savagely to the fly.

21S. Sterling silver leaping salmon pendent with sapphire eyesA sterling silver chain suspends a handcrafted solid silver pendent depicting a leaping salmon with dazzling sapphire eyes. The craftspeople at Patrick Mavros have excelled themselves in the manufacture of this piece specifically for our auction.

Patrick Mavros - The African Luxury Brand

The Patrick Mavros brand was founded 35 years ago when the then-soldier, Patrick, carved a pair of earrings for his wife, Catja. She wore them to the hair salon, where the hairdresser fell in love with them and instantly requested a pair for herself. From this loving gift, the business was born into what is recognised today as a uniquely African and distinctively exotic, luxury brand. The Mavros sons, Alexander, Forbes, Patrick Jnr and Benjamin are also all passionately involved in the business. From day one the boys were engrossed in the workshop, experimenting with materials and designs: starting with heavy rough-hewn rock crystals they dug up from the farm, suspended them from fishing line for their adoring and patient mother to wear!

Marrying intricate craftsmanship with an intrepid family heritage, the Mavros family have not only designed some of the most extraordinary creations in Africa but have also created around them an environment just as magical and bold.

At home, the workshops, the family homestead, the wildlife sanctuary and the studio are all built to form a small village on the family estate in the wild hills outside Harare in Zimbabwe.

As a business that is passionate about conservation on a global scale, the team at Patrick Mavros were very keen to support S&TC and our work across the UK.

4L. “A good fish” 60cm x 60cm - Wall Sculpture in pewter, copper, resin and gold leaf by Sam MacDonaldSam, who now lives in Perthshire, grew up on the Isle of Lewis and, after 4 years at Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts training in Silversmithing and Metalwork, lived on Orkney for 19 years. This enabled his love of fishing, diving and the sea to combine with his developing skills in metalwork. Sam uses old, traditional metalwork techniques to produce contemporary and unique works. He creates impressions of fish, using the tactile effects that metal, its processes and techniques have to offer. Travelling internationally to fly fish has opened up new inspiration for Sam. Fishing in Venezuela, the Bahamas, and the Dominican Republic for bonefish, permit, tarpon and barracuda have been the source of inspiration for many recent pieces, as has salmon and trout fishing in Iceland and Pakistan respectively.

Sam is a Signature Member of The Society of Animal Artists USA and a member of the Redspot Artist group http://www.artangle.co.uk/redspot He has been featured on BBC2’s ‘Coast’ programme.

‘There are many ways to record a memorable fish for posterity. But metal? Artist Sam MacDonald works in pewter, gold leaf and brass and he has taken many years to build a vocabulary of marks and colours in metal. The results are stunning.’ Trout and Salmon October 2011

‘What at first glance look like paintings are more like 3D sculptures made from metal, with a very particular character that lends itself very well to fish and underwater subjects and a stunning amount of naturalism and detail considering the material.’ Global Fly Fisher 2013.

‘For an artist who uses traditional metalwork techniques, capturing the complexities of living game fish seems like a tall order. But from his workshop in Perthshire, Scotland, Sam Macdonald creates, stunning relief sculptures in which the fish seem to almost leap off the background.’ American Angler Nov/Dec 2011

Work has been acquired for private collections all over the world and Sam has recently installed a large salmon piece in the prestigious West Ranga Lodge in Iceland. In 2012 Sam had a large solo show in The Gallery, Cork Street, London. He has also shown at various group

exhibitions in galleries including the House of Bruar, CLA Game Fairs, the Royal Scottish Academy, The Wykeham Gallery and Visions West Gallery, Montana.

‘My artistic endeavour is to observe and capture fleeting moments of nature. I try to express an emotional response to something very private, a moment shared between man and nature.’

N.B. Delivery of this lot is to be arranged by the winning bidder or collected on the night of the auction.

5L. An Original artwork by Clare BrownlowClare has been drawing and painting since she was old enough to hold a pencil and brush. She was an Art Scholar at Uppingham School and went on to study art at Edinburgh College of Art and Leith School of Art, where she specialised in atmospheric oil paintings.

After the birth of her first son in 2009, in a quiet moment at her parent’s kitchen table in Norfolk, Pheasant Feather Art was born. She picked up a pheasant feather from her father’s stash, dipped it in his fountain pen inks and started ‘’doodling’’.

Clare took this idea back to Scotland, where she, her husband Charlie and their two small boys live.

Clare designed the front cover for the 25th anniversary brochure of the Scone Game Fair, as well as winning the competition for the design of the front cover for the CLA Game Fair 2014 brochure. Shortlisted in 2014 for Wildlife Artist of the Year, Clare has worked closely with and donated paintings to a number of charities, including Tusk Trust, Born Free Foundation and GWCT.

Clare has donated this fantastic original artwork for our auction. The work comes unframed to allow the purchaser to frame it to suit their home. Delivery to be arranged by the purchaser.

6L. Solid silver and Leather Belt entitled “ Lucky Fish” By Patrick Mavros JewelleryA handmade calfskin belt with a Sterling silver buckle featuring salmon.

Patrick Mavros - The African Luxury Brand - was founded 35 years ago when the then-soldier, Patrick, carved a pair of earrings for his wife, Catja. She wore them to the hair salon, where the hairdresser fell in love with them and instantly requested a pair for herself.

From this loving gift, the business was born into what is recognised today as a uniquely African and distinctively exotic, luxury brand. The Mavros sons, Alexander, Forbes, Patrick Jnr and Benjamin are also all passionately involved in the business.

From day one, the boys were engrossed in the workshop, experimenting with materials and designs: starting with heavy rough-hewn rock crystals they dug up from the farm, they suspended them from fishing line for their adoring and patient mother to wear!

Marrying intricate craftsmanship with an intrepid family heritage, the Mavros family have not only designed some of the most extraordinary creations in Africa but have also created around them an environment just as magical and bold.

At home, the workshops, the family homestead, the wildlife sanctuary and the studio are all built to form a small village on the family estate in the wild hills outside Harare in Zimbabwe.

As a business that is passionate about conservation on a global scale, the team at Patrick Mavros were very keen to support S&TC and our work across the UK.
