Boston is an excellent base for boating and fishing. The River Witham runs into Boston, while the tidal Haven meanders through the town, past the Port of Boston and out to the Wash

Fishing - Angling is a popular sport in the Boston area. The inland waterways in the Fens are well known amongst anglers for their bountiful supply of coarse fish. Boston’s waterways in particular are renowned for their big catches of pike, perch and bream.
