A ‘Silent Auction’ is when items for auction are displayed with a bidding sheet nearby the article for sale. Bidders record their name or initials on the bidding sheet. As and when the auction is closed, the last person to bid wins the article.
The auction is a ‘fun fundraiser’ where people often use non-de-plumes, or strange marks to put other bidders off the trail.

Articles for auction are varied and include fishing gear- old and new, some antiques, books, prints and paintings, sculptures, pottery and porcelain. Clothing, boxed and framed flies, unique One Fly memorabilia and much more.

Many of the items on offer are donated by people attending the event, while others are donated by corporate companies and individuals who support the sole beneficiary of the auction – The One Fly Challenge Trust (see Trust page).



If you would like to donate anything for the auction, please email terry@onefly.co.nz to make the necessary arrangements.

We would like to thank all the people for their donations.
