Taf

Rising on Mynydd Prescelly, this river, not to be confused with the Taff in Glamorgan, flows down through the hills to Whitland where it swings east to St Clears and the estuary which carries it into Carmarthen Bay. It attracts runs of sea trout (best from June) and salmon and also offers brown trout. There is some access for vis-itors.

Hit repeatedly by pollution, the angling community in the Taff Valley is still fighting hard to try to improve things in this river. The situation is still not good and this cannot be rated a water likely to interest the visitor unless his stay in the area is an enforced one. Restocking efforts with trout have, not surprisingly, succeeded best in the upper reaches and some of the tributaries. Occasional sea trout now seem to be managing what, for them, must be a difficult journey up this river. Rod Licence: WNWDA (Glamorgan Rivers Division)
