Cutt Mill – Hinton St Mary
Cutt Mill is SHAA’s most upstream managed section of the Dorset Stour, just north of Hinton St Mary. It’s a quiet, overgrown mix of peaceful mill pool and small-river sections, with some proper depth, snags and summer weed to think about.

Key rules
Coarse fishing on English rivers is closed from 15 March to 15 June inclusive. That's the law for coarse fish on rivers — it's not a club rule, and game-fishing seasons work differently.
