Feedback & Reports

Beautiful conditions, but only had until lunchtime. Tonnes of fly life. One on and off in lower pool near car park area; one or two rising towards lunchtime. No other fish seen otherwise.

All caught on Pheasant Tail nymph.

We arrived at 8:30am hours to find the river in fine form. Blizzard-like clouds of gnat hovered around virtually all day and were joined periodically by good hatches of Olive and the occasional Sedge. As such, the trout rose freely throughout the day but were not easy to tempt – one bad cast and they would dive for cover. We caught 3 Trout – all on klinkhamer. Nymphs produced nothing.
Points to note:
(1) do not attempt to access car park 1 in anything other than a 4x4.
(2) Bring chest waders and a wading staff.

Water a good height (12" on Brecon gauge), warmish day. Reasonable amount of fly life about - olives, LDO's,sedge and some sherry spinners later in the day.
Surprised, given the conditions, very little rising. Two decent 12" wbt caught (emerger pattern) and released.
Unauthorised angler (poacher to you and me) dropped in with his spinning rod on the lower part of the beat. Was despatched by one of the anglers and beat owner, David, who over a glass of wine shared some useful knowledge about the beat and area which has been tucked away for future trips.

Guiding two clients. The river was high but it fished quite well. 6 trout best around 14 inches.

Loads of fish in the river and happily feeding off the top on little black flies. Took a few on cdc emeger patterns and some on nymps fished deep in the streamy runs. Lost a really good fish late on it the day.

A great day's fishing with plenty of fish. Mostly about 10-13ins with a few larger fish the largest being about 1lb. There were loads of fish in the river but they are not easy to catch. We saw one fish that looked to be at least 2lb but could not get it to take. A great beat and we will certainly return.

First time Fly fishing and hooked something late afternoon but failed to recover. This is a perfect location for me and looking forward to my next return. Thanks to the advice to another fisherman, unfortunately I didn't get his name.

A glorious day, with the river in perfect condition, and newly arrived swifts adding to the fresh feeling of spring. Sporadic LDO hatch through the middle of the day. 3 good trout caught. All were safely returned: 2 x 17 inches and a 15 incher.

Fenni Fach is a stunning beat with some treacherous wading in the upper section in particular. I took an early dip just a few minutes into the start of my day! I had favourable conditions and there was a decent hatch in the first part of the afternoon but, sadly, no BT either to the nymph or dry fly.
