Fishing the river Taff

Not posted for a while due to being on holidays for a few weeks in Jamaica and god what a holiday it was but there you are back to normality and back to the fishing.

I was out on the river today with a good friend that I haven’t fished with for some time and it was good to have the old partner in crime around again.  Due to the overnight rain, the river Taff was running with a few inches on and with a slight colour but it didn’t dampen the fishing spirit!. Matthew my mate concentrated on the deep pools and the head of the pools with the heavy nymphs and I just concentrated on the back ends where the slow and shallow waters were. As we both moved up river picking trout and grayling off I had a call off another mate Ceri Sweeney who I haven’t seen for some time asking if I was out fishing. Soon after,  Ceri met up with us and after having a chinwag, we all got to the fishing. It was far from easy and you had to work for the ones we managed to catch.

Im back on track with the blog  so please keep checking in on times to see what ive been up to. A few more posts about flies and where ive been fishing them will be up soon.

River Taff water level

This chart hasn’t been updated yet but when you see it next it will be up in the flooding is possible area for sure.  The river Taff and river Rhondda are evil with this relentless rain and fishing is a no go for sure! Be a while before any kind of angler wets a line:(

This is what it looks like in real time below and as you can see its WILD!!!
