About Afan Valley Angling and Conservation Club
Afan Valley Angling and Conservation Club was founded in 1951 and offers a mix of wild brown trout, sea trout (sewin) and salmon fishing on the River Afan, a small spate river, with beats from Port Talbot upstream to Cymmer. The Passport describes a conservation minded committee that has helped the river recover from the industrial and coal era, to the point that the salmon population is ever increasing.
Fishing is allowed between the Afandale pool at Cymmer and 20 yards above Mansel Weir at Green Park Industrial Estate, Aberafan. No fishing is allowed on the Corrwg and Gwynfi sections of the river. Brown trout fishing is permitted from one hour before sunrise to one hour after sunset, and night fishing is permitted for salmon and sea trout. Visitors are asked to park within the law and with consideration for local residents. A junior ticket is for anyone under 18 on the day of booking.
The beat maps and the full club rules are on the club’s own website, and the Passport asks anglers to read the rules before buying a ticket. It is booked through the Fishing Passport.
