About Fenni Fach
Fenni Fach is a 1.5 mile stretch of the Usk just upstream of Brecon. It has a series of pools, runs and gutters, is described as extremely diverse and gives peaceful fishing. It is predominantly trout fishing, with good salmon fishing when water conditions are right.
It is not the easiest Usk beat for wading: chest waders with stud or stud and felt soles are a must. Parking is less than 300 metres from the river. Day ticket anglers are there at the invitation of the landowner, and signs warning the general public off are not meant for them.
It is fly fishing only for trout, two trout may be taken per rod, and salmon are catch and release at all times. Dogs are allowed if kept under control. A salmon day ticket and a river trout day ticket each cost £29.50, with up to four tickets a day. It is booked through the Fishing Passport.
