Little Canford – Dorset Stour

Brief description of fishery:

A lightly fished stretch of the Stour. This venue is best suited to an agile, roving approach. Fishing can be challenging in some areas, but the rewards can be well worth the effort. Although weedy in summer the fish can be located and tempted from the shallow gravels runs beneath the ranunculus. During the autumn and winter months many more swims become easier to access. The stretch holds a good head of chub averaging 3- 5lb with some specimens weighing well over 6lb reported. There are also some large barbel present. There are also specimen roach, perch and pike present with grayling and brown trout adding to the sport on offer. A path runs along the bank making access very good. This is a beautiful venue with many enticing deep holes amongst the shallow runs offering a huge array of swims and choices for the visiting angler.
