FISHING ON THE TAF.

(2009)

THE RIVER TAF.

The Taf is a small but noted river in West Wales which has good runs of seatrout and salmon as well as a healthy population of brown trout. Worming, spinning and flyfishing are all permitted on the river. The season runs from 1st April to 17th October. The last 10 days of the season are catch and release only.
