Very strange. Used to be a member of Merthyr AA and the taff was prolific throughout the year for trout. But no signs of any. Grayling were active though.

First time on this beat, and it got the better of me! Just the one grayling shot on a Pink Shrimp, fished Euro style. I wandered upstream as far as the wear below the A470 bridge. Interesting water for sure, but very challenging wading amongst the bedrock and large, slippery boulders – be careful. I’ll be back, as I know those grayling are there!

River running high and fast made things very tricky. No fish.

River was at 0.41m on NRW Fiddlers Elbow gauge, so it had run off was was very clear. Fished from bottom of beat to weir below A470, about half way up beat. Only fished for a few hours around lunch time. Tried a variety of nymphing methods but no action. Parked in lay-by just up from the Fire Station, and accessed river by path and steps behind church.

Plenty of grayling up to 1 1/4 lbs. All on French nymphs. Nice stretch of water, but a huge amount of litter and rubbish in and around the water.

Lunch time fishing for an hour, dropped into the river via the grounds of St Thomas Church, Abercynon. Parking on the side streets nearby. Fished from the river Cynon junction to just above the road bridge, only 100 yards or so. Had around a dozen grayling, lots of shots but also a good few fish between 11 and 13 inches. All to a pink shrimp fished on a mono ‘Euro nymph’ set up. This beat has a lot of grayling present, which can be found to the top boundary of the beat, which is as far upstream as they are present in the Taff. The wading here is quite tricky, so a wading staff might come in handy.
12 Grayling
