About the Taf Fechan
The Taf Fechan, the little Taff, rises in the Brecon Beacons immediately south of Pen y Fan. Its flow is controlled by the reservoirs it passes on the way down: the two Neuadd reservoirs, Pentwyn and Pontsticill. Below Pontsticill it enters a wooded gorge, and it ends at Cefn Coed in Merthyr Tydfil, where it joins the Taf Fawr to form the River Taff.
The first mile and a half of the fishing runs through the Taf Fechan Gorge, over rocky and sometimes deep water. The next three kilometres start with deep gutters and then become a smaller stream. The setting is mostly rural.
The fish are wild brown trout, and on the smaller water further down they are the only species, wild and natural. Stocked fish turn up occasionally. The Taf Fechan is a much smaller river than the Taff it feeds, but it is the one that gives the Taff its start.
