The Afon Llynfi is a South Wales river that flows through the Llynfi Valley with a mix of fast-flowing upper sections and slower, deeper pools ideal for coarse fishing. The river holds decent populations of brown trout and grayling in its clearer stretches, while lower reaches support roach, dace, and chub. Access is generally good via public footpaths and local fishing clubs, though permits from the Taff and Ely Angling Association or local landowners are typically required.
Anglers should note the close season on Afon Llynfi: 15 March – 15 June (rivers, England & Wales). Club membership or day ticket access is required in addition to your EA rod licence on most stretches.
