My wife originates from the Christchurch/Bournemouth area of the UK and I from Leicester, which is where we live. As a dutiful husband and son-in-law I join the wife and daughter on the 180 mile pilgrimage to visit the wife's family and friends. I would like to find out what fly fishing (river or Stillwater) opportunities are available in the area to enable me to slip the lead and enjoy an afternoon fly fishing somewhere different.

Any Suggestions of good fly fishing spots in and around the New Forest / Christchurch / Bournemouth area would be most appreciated.
