Anglers make pilgrimages from all over the world to fish it and pressure on the river today is immense. Most of the fishing is for large stocked browns and rainbows of two to six pounds and more. A typical day rod costs between 80 and 250 pounds. At last light when the small spinners are up even these fish can challenge the most skilful. Outside of mid-May to mid-June when the huge mayfly Ephemera danica is up most dry fly fishing will be with small upwinged and caddis imitations.Stonehenge must be the oldest tourist attraction in the area followed by the 10th century Romsey Abbey with its Saxon road screen and carving of the Crucifixion. Nearby Broadlands is the home of the Mountbatten family and historic Beaulieu is home to the National Motor Museum. Take the family to Marwell Zoological Park or into the New Forest to see the wild ponies and deer. Sports enthusiasts will enjoy the riding fishing and walking or a day at the races at Newbury of Salisbury.
