Feedback & Reports

Fished mid morning and afternoon until 4 o'clock. Limited fly life and very few fish rising. One 8 inch trout to a dry fly and a couple of pulls fishing a PTN. River in good condition, be aware of barb wire fences hidden in bankside vegetation (another hole in waders that already leak like a sieve).

A really blissful summer day, fishing in shirt sleeves. A day to keep in your mind's eye in winter! 5 wbt, the best 1.5lb, all to either PTN or GRHE fished NZ style. No dry fly offers all day. No obvious big hatches either, a steady trickle of yellow mays were ignored from what I could make out. This is beautiful water.

An unsuccessful day on my first visit to this beat on a warm sunny day. I saw no fish rising but tried various dry flies and nymphs wherever it wasn't shallow and fast flowing. I wasn't there for the evening.

No hatch before dusk and then desultory. Water low and clear and only small stuff moving during day.
A GRH cast to a rising fish was taken as soon as it hit the water by a 10" fish. Others were small.
I saw one solitary mayfly which looked rather lonely.
There are some steep-sided deep pools which can make wading hazardous in a couple of places.

A lovely evening on the river (steady at 0.62m on the gauge) Fished 3-10pm. No sign of salmo salar even as the sun was setting. Small sporadic rise at 9pm. Changed from the 15fter to an 11ft 7wt switch. Had some fun fishing a size 12 silver stoat. Three trout 1lb, 6oz and 4oz.

7 barbel from 4lb to the best at 9.5lb (what a fight that one gave me)! 19 chub to 4.5lb. Bait used feeder/pellet & meat on left bank. First time fishing Foy Bridge and had the whole beat to myself. A cracking days sport. Thanks WUF. I WILL RETURN!

Perfect conditions for dry fly fishing and a very agreeable beat to fish from. As you would expect at this time of the season, there were plenty of rises for mating and egg laying flies as well as hatching nymphs.
I landed 2 Brown Trout in quick succession from around Highwell, my first point of call: 1 cock fish, 10 inches (1/2lb) 1 hen fish 14 inches (1lb).
My only disappointment was that I hit the bag limit before having a chance to enjoy other reaches of this beat!
I would definitely revisit Fenni Fach in the future.

WUF note: The 2 fish limit means only 2 fish can be kept not the total number of fish that can be caught, all other fish caught must be released.

Great days fishing. All fish taken on pellet and feeder. Biggest barbel going 9.75lb. Still after an elusive Wye double so I will be back!
