Fishing - freshwater fishing in lake and river
Coarse fishing is available within the New Forest at Hatchet Pond, a little to the south-west of Beaulieu; and nearby at Broadlands Lake, close to the M27, not far from Romsey. Day tickets are available for both. Check the Forestry Commission and Broadlands Lakes web sites for further information.
Consider, too, Christchurch Angling Club day tickets which are available for a number of their waters.
Coarse and game fishing day tickets are also available for waters a little outside the New Forest - on the renowned Rivers Avon and Itchen. Salisbury and District Angling Club, for example, offer Hampshire Avon fishing at Charford - south of Salisbury, the Lower Itchen Fishery operates a little to the north of Southampton, whilst the Royalty Fishery is near Christchurch.
