- A group of pioneering fisherman embark on a four-week journey into the wilderness of the Russian tundra. Completely isolated from the civilized world they explore the viability of an emerging fishing destination for wild Atlantic salmon.
- In the middle of the Brazilian jungle, at the Mamirauá Sustainable Development Reserve, two anglers are chasing the prehistoric fish whom the natives call: Pirarucú. After the stocks have recovered from overfishing in the 80's, the Pirarucú Lodge is known to be the best fly fishing spot for Arapaima in the world. The pursuit of one of the largest freshwater fish on the fly has it's ups and downs, but "simply" catching one of these prehistoric fish isn't enough. The reason you travel all the way deep into the amazon is to break the magical 200cm mark.
- Fly fishing's history grows with each passing day as new species and the techniques to catch them evolve. It is indisputable that its history lies in the pursuit of wild brown trout and Atlantic salmon in the UK. Consequently, no matter where you are from, where you began your fly fishing career or on what species, the desire to understand and catch an Atlantic salmon is always intriguing. Today, for those new to the sport, achieving that dream is not so easy. Netting, loss of habitat, salmon farms, over-population and issues at sea that we do not even understand to this day are all contributing to a major downturn in the numbers of wild Atlantic salmon. So much so that some of those new to fly fishing question the sanity of those that still long to feel the take of a fresh salmon. It would be a tragedy to lose the interest and support of such a generation. But there is hope and it lies on Russia's Kola Peninsula on the Ponoi river which divides the peninsula in two, north and south, and takes the best of both. The Ponoi is probably the world's most reliable Atlantic salmon river and remains in excellent health right up through the 2017 season. This is the story of three young fly fishers at different stages in their salmon fishing careers, each discovering that all is not lost for the Atlantic salmon and enjoying the three different runs on the Ponoi that can, and are often, caught all in the same day during the autumn season. Together they are charmed and seduced by the Atlantic salmon and its last bastion of hope, the Ryabaga Camp on the Ponoi river, and we witness their appreciation for what they are experiencing grow into a desire to see their children enjoy fishing for Atlantic salmon in the future.
