Did you know<br />
● Several of our guesthouses<br />

leaflet is available from<br />
the <strong>Christchurch</strong> Information<br />
Centre.<br />
● The Royalty Fishery is one of<br />
England's most famous coarse<br />
fisheries and is regularly featured<br />
in the media.<br />
www.visitchristchurch.info<br />
on the Hampshire<br />
Avon, including the<br />
Royalty Fishery’s<br />
famous Parlour and<br />
Bridge Pools.<br />
Fly fishing for<br />
rainbow and brown<br />
trout is available at<br />
several well-stocked<br />
still-water fisheries<br />
within reasonable<br />
travelling distance of<br />
the town.<br />
Sea fishing in<br />
<strong>Christchurch</strong> Harbour at Stanpit is particularly good for bass and<br />
mullet during the spring and summer, whilst nearby Mudeford and<br />
Hengistbury Head offer plenty of scope for beachcasting all year<br />
round. In season you can expect to catch mackerel, sea bream,<br />
rays, spurdog, wrasse and even the occasional cod. If you fancy a<br />
day out on the sea there are a number of fully licensed fishing<br />
boats operating from local ports: Mudeford is a registered fishing<br />
port.<br />
Whatever your choice of fishing you are sure to be well<br />
catered for when you visit <strong>Christchurch</strong>.<br />
