Had a couple of hours 1pm -3pm today nymphing heads of pools and managed 12 or so to hand. Very low water levels which made wading very tricky spooking several trout on the way.

A cold drizzly day but at least the cold East wind had gone.
Fished the bottom half by 1 and stopped for lunch back at the bridge with only 1 6 inch Trout on a Klinkhammer.
Changed the set up for the duo with a size 16 PTN on the point and continued upstream.
The slow water was very low and clear so concentrated on the pool heads and was rewarded with 5 more Trout to 14 inches and 4 nice Grayling 12 to 16 inches.

Very low water level. Started fishing early morning and didn't see any trout activity, possible because it was cold and raining. Caught the first trout (1.5lb) around 1pm using a brown parachute dry fly. Fish had average activity all afternoon resulting in one more trout (1lb) and lost 2 more fish. So it was good day. What is bad fishing on river Taff at Merthyr Tydfil, close to the Aberfan play area wad the rubbish. Rubbish is everywhere, plastic bottles, bags some industrial waste, why are fishermen paying the money if the Association are not doing anything? I very love small rivers and streams, love nature and hope that others people love it as well and will clean personal rubbish after theirselves. My tackle rod: 7'6, DT floating line, dry flies. Thank you.

Only eight degrees - so cold. No fish seen.

Began fishing around noon with a cold wind blowing upstream. River still low and few fish showing despite sporadic hatches during the afternoon but managed 6 between us on emergers and nymphs in the faster water.

5 Trout, 1 Grayling

8lbs and 12lbs. Both sea liced and taken on black F.C. Smolts still going down.

What a lovely morning fishing. Beautiful place, lots of deep pools to fish, one of which produced a lovely brownie of about a pound and a half! A few other takes and chases. Thanks very much will be back soon!

Difficult in the morning, strong wind from the East, however, stuck at it and landed 3 Rainbows on spinner, up to 2lbs.

A cold start (8 degrees at 10am) and a strong breeze meant a slow and tricky beginning with just one WBT in the morning, on a gold head PTN fished below a Klinkhammer. Things livened up in the afternoon with 3 good fish on the dry (Para Adams) following a big hatch of Large Brook Duns at 2.30 ish making things very lively for half an hour. All in all despite the chilliness, low water (rain please!) and the breeze an excellent day.
