Below Blandford by-pass

Blandford is a stretch of the Dorset Stour running from the Brewery weirpool to below the Blandford by-pass (about 1.75 mi), on the right-hand bank looking downstream. The water is owned by Ringwood & District Anglers Association, and members of Blandford & District Angling Club and Wareham & District Angling Society may also fish it free of charge by RDAA's permission — so membership of any of the three clubs gets you on. Species include roach, dace, pike, perch, chub, eel, grayling, bream and carp. Night fishing is not permitted.
