Feedback & Reports

Fishing was hard that day. Fish either was not active or very picky. I reckon :) After several hours I managed to catch 3 trout around 25 cm. Method: spin. C & R

PS Sadly I have to report that Taff river after winter high water looks like a skip. I found there bicycles, mattresses, cables, microwaves, toys tons of bags. The list is endless as amount of rubbish there. It's very sad as fishing in the Valley can be very rewarding. I presume it's all beyond control of Merthyr Angling Association but I thought I mention this as a warning to more "nature conscious" anglers and/or anglers who are hoping not only catch beautiful trout but also to admire nature.

Why cant we have this water in May! Still v big 2ft 7", but Bridge, Ty-Mawr and Gravel catch were working. Saw one big fish travel through Ty-Mawr, and the trout were savaging any fly that was worked fast in shallowish water

Water high and clear, and a stiff downstream breeze. More fish lost than caught, but managed to secure 3 nice fish all caught with small weighted nymphs in fast water. All safely returned.

13 x trout 8-12 inches, dries - Olive Jingler, March Brown Jingler, spiders - Waterhen Bloa, Dark Moorgame, Hare's Lug and Plover. River still pretty high - I funked fording it at usual places and went round via bridge - and not so very much in the way of hatches, but fish definitely prepared to come up. I'm told there was a good March brown hatch yesterday.

My first visit to WUF fishing so this was very much a recce . River .4 on the gauge - just after I started fishing a guy appeared on the opposite bank who said it needs to be .35 or below. I fished for a couple of hours with a heavy nymph but nothing doing. About 11am a few LDO’s (?) started coming off but nothing rising.

This was the second part of my recce day having fished Llanddewi in the morning. The sun had come out and perhaps because of this the water seemed clearer but still pushing through . No fish showing but a nice stretch of water to fish for an hour or two
