About Glynneath and District Angling Association
Glynneath and District Angling Association has 17 miles of fishing in the upper Neath Valley. Much of the water is in the Brecon Beacons National Park, in the area often called Dyffryn y Sgydau (Waterfall Valley) for its waterfalls. The association describes gin clear water holding natural brown trout that take nymph, dry and wet flies, and says the river is stocked on a regular basis through the season to supplement natural stocks on the lower waters.
From the end of July or the beginning of August, depending on water conditions, there are salmon and sea trout (sewin) runs, with a smaller run of both in spring. The association names good holding pools including Langi, Rock Pool, Pontwalby Bridge, Water Bridge, Ynys-y-Nos Rock Pools, Potato Pool, Tennis Court Pool, Pwll-Pen-Cae and the two Junction Pools.
An adult day licence for anyone over sixteen is £15 and can be bought online; junior and parent or grandparent day licences are booked by phone. No dogs are allowed and the beat operates a wash-off policy. The Passport recommends reading the full club rules before buying a ticket. It is booked through the Fishing Passport.
