I could just do with a day's fishing just like that right now, bliss!

[@NickThomasFlyTying]

I remember putting you on to those fish behind the station last year..😊

[@FishingInWales]

Great spot isn't it, been fishing it for 25 years which is why we went there. Always holds a few 👍

Rob, what net have you got there please and how do you attach it to your belt/back? Thanks

Is the maggot fishing allowed on river Taff? I live in Merthyr Tydfil and I am pretty sure someone said to me it isn't...

[@FishingInWales]

It's only allowed on Glamorgan AA club water in Cardiff because this part of the river has good stocks of coarse fish. Maggots are not permitted on Merthyr AA or the other clubs, because its trout fishing. further up the river.

[@FishingInWales]

There are no grayling in that part of the Taff. They are only in the river from Abercynon down to Cardiff.

Hi - what part of the Taff is 9:00 ?

Glamorgan anglers below Radyr and also at Sofia Gardens.

[@dinujayapathirana5152]

can you not keep the fishing ?

[@FishingInWales]

No its catch and release - or we would have no fish left. And why would you want to eat fish in the Taff? Not exactly clean, the fish don't taste great!
