	RIVER TAFF
		In 1872 a report on the river stated that it was uninhabitable to fish, the main cause being the tipping of hot cinders into the river and scouring the river bed by the washing down of cinder dumps.
		The river is recognized by both the Environmental Agency and the Welsh Salmon and Trout Angling Association as being one of the finest natural Brown Trout fisheries in Britain and because of this W.S.T.A.A. have held their international trials on the River.
		River Taff since he was a small child and knows the river extremely well.

		River right (GR 077911) just after the 'Graveyard' rapid under the bridge off the B4273 is yet another alternative put-in or take-out.
		You can struggle on to the river upstream of the original access point but that leads you with a slippery portage river left of the Grade 5 slot - at low water levels - and probably no portage route at all in high water.
		There is also the Taff downstream of this section, with some over lap between the guides.

	Conwy Richards - Coracle Types - River Taff, River Dwyrd and River Dyfi (River Dovey)
		The River Dyfi is one of the rivers not particularly known for its coracle fishermen.
		That river was to become polluted with effluent from lead mining activities and that is recorded as one of the reasons that coracle netting ceased.
		All the academic works on working coracles have no mention of the river and it was not until 1986 that the existence of this previously unknown craft was first noted when a Shrewsbury coracle maker was asked to renovate an original.

		For many years the Taff was reported as a ‘river incapable of supporting life’.
		After arriving and almost jumping out of the car to view the river, huge grins were instantly slapped across our faces, and with a speedy ‘tackle-up’ by the car, we were excitedly heading for the new and unexplored piece of river.
		And so, after a relatively dry day, a beautiful night and a new stretch of river explored, we were accompanied to the car by the beginnings of the pita-patter of rain hitting the leaves and the water of the nearest pool.

	Fishing Wales: River Taff
		In acute cases entire rivers or lakes may be disregarded, in disbelief that decent fishing could be had on something a stones throw away.
		Such is the case of the river Taff, which starts its course high up in the Welsh mining valleys of South Wales cutting its path seawards relentlessly towards Cardiff Bay.
		Unfortunately the river was still fairly high, although clear, after the last flood which inhibited us from searching out every stretch of water.

	Cardiff \| Europe Travel
		The industrial development and growth of Cardiff was initially centred on the transportation of coal, where coal mined from the Rhondda Valley was sent to the port by barge along the valley of the River Taff, initially by canal and later by the Taff Vale Railway.
		A logical extension of the coal business was the development of an iron and steel industry, based largely on the port and the coal of the South Wales valleys.
		Some believe that “Dydd” or “Diff” was a corruption of “Taff", the river on which Cardiff castle stands, in which case “Cardiff”; would mean “the fort on the river Taff” (in Welsh the T mutates to D).
