Paul ( PG) is out salmon fishing with his friend Bobby Windsor, fondly known as "The Mars Bar Kid". Knowing that the water was low and that the Avon salmon run was still peaking they decided to visit the famous and historic "Royalty" on the Hampshire Avon in Christchurch, Dorset. PG's last salmon spinning day on the Royalty was more than 6 years ago having only fished it once on the fly during that period.( The day Paul Robinson caught a 29lber on rolling luncheon meat) On his first day back after 6 years of fishing the Somerley Estate, PG lands a fresh and bright cock fish in excess of 30 lb's.Just 2 hours into the session. He presents a mepps 5 (silver blade with blue spots) above the "Railway Pool" near "Greenbanks". Using his " Contour" roaming head cam he captures the anticipation, take, battle and landing of the fish all in under 10 minutes !!! Also includes under-water footage of the release and some stunning stills. Paul takes you into the "Rod Room" and "Davies Tackle" for a trip down memory lane which includes a cast of the 49ber that was caught on the fishery back in 1952. At the end of the film he throws in some wildlife shots taken at the fishery on the day. These include a little egret stalking small mullet below "The Falls".
