Fishing rights on the River Cocker will be up for auction today, with a guide price of £20,000 to £30,000.
Mitchells Land and Property are holding the sale in Cockermouth.
"The property comprises 782 metres (855 yards) or thereabouts of single bank fishing on the River Cocker, including the pools known as ‘Coop Dub’ and ‘Turkey Farm Pool’," states the property details.
"The riverbed is also included with the property and extends to approx. 0.66 ha (1.63 acres).
"Whilst the fishing does not have the benefit of catch records, the River Cocker has historically been renowned for runs of salmon, sea trout and brown trout."
The area has the benefit of a right of access on foot across the field from Simonscales Lane to the west and can also be accessed via the footpath at Southwaite bridge to the east.
The River Cocker is a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
"In so far as the vendor is aware, the property is not affected by any other environmental, historical, archaeological or other statutory designation," state the details.
The property is offered for sale as a whole by Public Auction at 2pm today (November 30) within the Fairfield Restaurant, Lakeland Agricultural Centre, Cockermouth.
