DURWESTON MILL

A peaceful stretch set in beautiful Dorset countryside, The fishery has a mill pool, a weir and both shallows and deep runs which offer a wide variety of fishing challenges.

• Spend some time walking the stretch before fishing to locate the shoals.

• Travel light.
• Keep an eye on the wind direction if you're intending to float fish. An upstream wind makes control of the float easier.
