Just on the outskirts of Wimborne, Deans Court offers not just Day Rods but the very popular Fish Camp. With a mixture of bank and wading fishing, this is an all wild fish beat for brown trout and grayling. This is small stream fishing for a combination of sight fishing and speculative casting to likely holding spots and runs. There is a spectacular Mayfly hatch in May. This beat is ideal for one Rod or two friends. Deans Court is a pivotal part of the ground breaking Landscape Recovery Scheme that seeks to restore the water meadows to their glorious past to protect the river and improve the habitat for both insects and wildlife along the River Allen corridor.
