Feedback & Reports

Lovely stretch, but no fish taken. A big pike has been spotted in the pool at the very top of the beat. I did not see any fish rising. Used several diffrerent types of nymphs, but fishes were not cooperative at all.

Great day, starting with watching two otters at close proximity playing in the river. Good hatch of March Browns but little response in a rise.

Fishing was very average on the allowed beat, I could see many fish rising above and below the beat limits which suggests there's too much pressure on this beat. A little Disappointed.

WUF note: Angler numbers at Fenni Fach and other Passport beats are carefully managed to ensure they not over-pressurised. Only 5 anglers had fished the 1.5 mile stretch in the 23 days since the season start prior to this visit. More fish observed rising on adjoining beats could not therefore be due to “too much pressure” at Fenni Fach.

Some fish rising to LDO and March Browns, most caught on nymphs in the riffles though

Nil. Thanks to Mike and Phil for their advice.

First time on this beat for me. Lovely weather, starting with a breeze that became quite chill at the end of the afternoon.
Managed 7 WBT to hand all in good nick and returned safely. I used my 5ft 2weight which served me well - only a couple of times did I wish it was a 6ft or a 4ft!. Saw two splashy rises but could not tempt anything with dry.
There didn't seem to be much emerging. So all caught on gold head nymphs. Deep run nymphing hit many underwater obstructions. Trees and bushes are still bare of leaves. Water was clear and flowing well but was not as high as I expected, therefore wading was very easy. There was a disappointing amount of waste debris on and in the water both natural and caused by humans. Searched for the fourth, but could only find three car wheels.
