Fished the top 1/4 of the gorge, and 1/4 mike up from Pontsarn. Despite it looking like the dishonest place on earth, I think that upstream of Pontsarn may well fish better than the gorge, partly due to the Fact that it's really tricky to get into a casting spot without spooking the fish.
That said, took three fingerlings to a small gold head, all fished with a longish leader to avoid spooking. Great morning session, there are plenty of fish there to be had.
I went on the Merthyr Tydfil angling association Facebook page to ask about patterns and spots and I have to say that they were amazing - Gavin Jehu (club secretary), Mostyn Reynolds, Ceri Thomas and Anthony Rees were all hugely helpful. Certainly one of the friendliest clubs I've encountered.

I started fishing from Parking no 3, the stream was lovely with lots of features. Casting was difficult with overhanging branches and I would highly recommend using a wading staff or studs if anyone intends to wade as the rocks were extremely slippery.There are couple of high cliffs especially on the other side of the bridge on Parking no 3 which can be dangerous if not been careful. I didn't manage to fish all the stretch as I had limited time to fish but I will be coming back soon. I caught a lovely brownie on the blue pool using Czech nymphing with my own tied nymph.
