Oakwood Park — River Stour
Oakwood Park is a productive bit of the Dorset Stour for roach and dace, running along the southern bank downstream of Canford Bridge. It’s easy enough to get about via the hardened path, with some proper specimen fish in the mix.

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.
