Warm wet day. Water a little coloured presumably from recent rain. Plenty of fly life amongst the alders but no rise. Two small 7" trout taken on dun and GRHE (sinking by this time in the almost incessant light rain). River bottom smothered everywhere in algae growth - not healthy - nitrates?. Himalayan balsam everywhere; saw 1 dipper, wagtail and a hare. Lovely area but not supporting the amount of wildlife I would expect - nature in retreat again.

River Taff. We arrived about 11am, too late. Fish had average activity on surface, half hour lost for getting right dry fly choice. Blue-grey klinkhammer, I catch 2 brown trout and fish size was little bit over 1 pound. Other 3 fish was smaller then 25 cm. Water level and colour was excellent. I spend good time on river Taff.
Bad thing, rubbish!!!! Empty plastic bottles and cans, plastic bags, shopping trolleys and child bicycle. This everything can find in river and close to the river. I very surprised that fishery and members don't care about this matter. Fishermans please clean after self this not so hard take your empty launch package and put in rubbish bin.
MTAA Note: We know that we have a problem with waste/rubbish. The association does various clean ups on parts of the river with Keep Wales Tidy and just normal members doing their bit. However, with the river Taff being an urban river it is pretty hard to keep up with it all. In time we hope to eradicate all rubbish.

River was about two foot; using nymphs lots of bites on the flats and a nice 8" brown lost one in the bridge pool the gravel catch produced an 8" and 12" fish, good fishing

1'7 on the gauge. Several Salmon showing on the beat but not interested in anything we had on offer. Thank you.

The water was slightly coloured but dropping off nicely. We both fished the fly although we are relatively new to fly fishing. Joe Cobbley our ghillie was hopeful that we may catch a fish but alas not to be. We both really enjoyed the day and we will be back next year to fish the beautiful Wye river.
