Royalty Fishery. River Avon. Hampshire.

A meander round the Royalty Fishery on the Hampshire Avon.

I grew up in Avon Buildings in the early 70s. Many happy memories building camps under the railway bridge and climbing along the green pipe bridge to get to my Gran's house in Burton. Happy days...

I love this place spent many years as a child there fishing with my Mum and Dad ,both unfortunately deceased.But some lovely memories and I will be back to fish .I remember when the bridge was green .Thank you for sharing this video :-)

[@randompenetrations]

Useful to watch before a visit - thank you

[@bigby1976]

Very useful and informative video for someone planning their first trip to the Royalty. Nice one chap. Cheers!

Excellent video Tom, Railway bridge, parlour pool and pipes all synonymous with some lovely Avon Carp captures.

I`ve fished here myself........caught a few salmon parr down near the footbridge,using a centrepin and trotting with maggots. Did some lure fishing next to the railway bridge and landed a jack on an abu plug. The water was quite clear and I saw the take init`s entirety......awesome. I`m surprised you never filmed in the anglers rest room they have there,with cased fish antique tackle,fishing books and plenty of old photos.......

Thanks for this Charly. You covered everything. I fished here as a boy .... about 45 years ago! Now if you can upload to KZbin you should be able to use a video editor ;-)

Looks good water for the bubble and fly.

Last time I fished here was 79

superb video. i travel there once a year from sussex with my dad to fish for barbel in autumn. gorgeous fishery, but SO much weed in most of it its largely unfishable. bait gets lost and snagged up and doesn't even reach the river bed. any advice on how to fish it would be gratefully received!!

[@portcullis5622]

The river looks gorgeous. Shame about some of the scenery.

[@sobranie007]

Interesting stuff. Is there a policy on rowing boat / canoe access?

[@Mickoutdoors]

Nice Video Tom what sort of price are the day tickets you seem to have a lot of river to go at or are the tickets broken down between stretches??

[@Charlyfarly2]

Concessionary £8-50 to fish it all except for small areas like the weir pool. Have a look at their web site.

[@davh1231]

most of it is on a single ticket, go to Davis tackle website.

[@PenzancePete]

"This little bit is called piles". It's because it's a pain in the arse to fish!

[@john-qq1lv]

Was done there last week fishing was poor very few fish about and over 4 days only caught 1 small barbel saw nothing caught by the few anglers on the river not worth the £14 per day nothing moving where have all the fish gone

[@Charlyfarly2]

I had 24 hours in total on the Royalty and Throop and blanked. The River Swale is poor this year.

[@sierradayhiker]

Tom I am from U S , what does rolling meat mean ?

[@Charlyfarly2]

Rather than have a fixed bait on the bottom a large lump of Spam is attached to the hook, cast out and is allowed to roll along the river bed without hindrance.

[@sierradayhiker]

@@Charlyfarly2 thank you
