Could Club members and all anglers who have fished the Taff for the last 3 years please let us know what species you have caught, dates when they were caught and where you caught them, please include how many trips that you did not catch anything.
Dates can be estimated please complete the online form here so the club can prove to the EA the river is in desperate need of restocking.

The clubs needs proof of what is been caught especially for Chub, Dace, Barbel and Grayling so we can give it to EA Wales

This is important as we are trying to convince the EAW that the Taff is in desperate need of restocking.

Online Returns Form.

Would all members please be aware that a sizeable Wells Catfish has been caught at Pyscodlin Mawr. This Fish was returned to the water quite innocently, but following investigation by the Club and Environment Agency Wales, we have been advised that the Fish, if landed, must not under any circumstances be returned to the pond. You must call the Head Bailiff, whose number is on your club license, who will arrange for the fish to be collected.

We would like to thank the idiot who thought it clever to put the fish into Pyscodlin Mawr, as by their thoughtless actions have sentenced a specimen fish to death.

The Club would like to make it clear, that any Club member found moving or introducing fish into Club waters without the relevant permissions and paper work, will be instantly banned from the Club and reported to the Environment Agency Wales.
