Low and clear — careful approach country. Small and bright, long leader, careful approach.
Live readings — water temperature is an estimate where the gauge does not record it.
Numbers are intensity 0 (none) to 3 (peak) — a guide, not a guarantee.
Small spate river down the Afan Valley to the Severn at Port Talbot — a recovery story as much as a fishery. A century of coal and industry left the river largely barren; reclamation work has brought brown trout, sewin, and the beginnings of a salmon run back to water that was effectively dead within living memory. Condition-driven fishing — falling water, colour, temperature — and a conservation-sensitive context. Treat it as a place to fish carefully rather than to fill the bag.
Sea trout: Variable seasonal (2026) — Recovering industrial valley river. Sewin run modest but consistent enough through summer to warrant a sea-trout designation. All-Wales At Risk picture applies; treat as a low-density conservation fishery.
