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.
From Pen y Fan through Merthyr, Pontypridd, and Cardiff to the Bay — the Taff is the great urban recovery story of the South Wales coalfield. Within living memory the river was effectively dead through Cardiff; today wild brown trout and grayling hold through the city centre, and sewin and salmon work back up on the autumn lifts. Not a remote wilderness fishery — an urban river of much more interest than it has any right to be.
Sea trout: Variable seasonal (2026) — Recovering urban river — sewin work back up on autumn lifts in modest numbers. The Taff's primary fishery is wild trout and grayling; sea trout are a seasonal bonus. All-Wales At Risk picture applies.
