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. Atlantic salmon are under serious conservation pressure — Natural Resources Wales mandates catch-and-release for salmon on all rivers, so all fish must be returned.
