About this water

A small Ferrolterra river falling through Fene and Neda to the Ría de Ferrol. The Belelle is intimate granite-freestone water with the well-known waterfall (Fervenza do Belelle) above Neda. Wild brown trout only. Best fished in May and June in the middle reaches above the fervenza; the river is small and gets little pressure.
