The water at Abercanaid, was clear and low. On a bright day with a rather sparse hatch, nothing was rising, requiring a switch to sub surface. I am a Halfordian but needs must !
Two fish was a disappointment but the river looked great and it was an enjoyable day.

Nice day. Not much rising.

First time on the Taff and some lovely water to go at. The only disappointment was the hideous amount of rubbish littering the banks and bed. It is such a crying shame that with the heavy industry now gone and water quality restored that there is still so much human derived waste blighting what should be an absolute jewel. Fishing was very tough and we couldn't really blame the conditions but low pressure, a little flush through and some cloud would have helped. I would have thought a fish or two could have been intercepted on a speculative nymph but no such luck. A very sparse hatch of olives at mid day was insufficient to drag any fish to the surface, other than one lone individual which rose three times, the last time to my C fly but I conspired not to disturb it with my hook! I will be back.

First time on the Taff (near Merthyr Vale). If you can look past the ubiquitous littering, it is a pretty river and certainly looked 'trouty' yesterday. I was quite hopeful as the temperature had picked up from the previous day and there were plenty of olives about. However, in the 3 hours I was there I didn't see a rise . Tried my best with the duo as well but to no avail. Might be worth coming back here with a guide sometime, as I've heard such promising things about the Taff.

Lewis Hammetts trout caught from the Taff last week
