River Taff Trout Fishing - Fly AND Lure 

Cracking river that one, well done stunning Brown Trout :)

I had out local spate gold cup with a trout of 3lb 12oz great trout

Great video shame about the amount of litter along such a beautiful river

May I know when did you shoot this video? I used to fish on Taff regularly with great results but then big flood came followed by great restrictions :( I heard from locals that fishing hasn't been so good last year. Hence this question. Ps Guys you are doing great job promoting fishing in Wales.

Superb quality of wild trout - better even than the English chalk streams which I fish. However, things are changing. More and more anglers are practising catch and release so the keepers are progressively reducing the stocking numbers to promote the wild populations. I've noticed a distinct improvement over the last couple of years and it would be great if the places I fish produce 'wildies' like this in the future.

Ceri you are the modern day Frank Ward , I do like your style , and some great input into the more wilder lakes that some of us love to fish , spot on !!!!! Long may it continue .

Has brat been on carl and alex?

Another cracking video, that Brownie didn't half have a cracking tail on it.

After a few years away from resevoir fishing (lure bashing) im looking to start again on the river as i live right by the Taff (Abercanaid) I was thinking of a WF 4 line/rod 9ft or would a smaller size rod be better? or maybe 5 weight?

What part of the taff is this please ?

Do you ever upstream worm? The reason i ask is that Czech nymphying uses no fly line and uses heavily weighted flies to hit bottom - the only difference i see is a spinning reel and a worm as bait, both cast are upstream and use weigh to get to the bottom. I prefer a fly rod to upstream worm, so from my viewpoint they are so close...its only about what is on the end that the trout will accept that makes a technique successful. After that it is a state of mind for the worm on the other end!
