Hi everone first post for a while,
recently joined Islwynn angling club interested in fly fishing the Ebbw from Risca/Crosskeys to Aberbeeg does any one knows of the stretches of river that belongs to the club also any infor on the Sirhowy.

Thanks

Gareth

I'm not sure if it was Islwyn water but I've fished the Ebbw at Risca behind the rugby club. Apart from the inevitable urban rubbish in the river it was full of surprisingly large trout with plenty of fly life on view. I caught five to about 16" in about an hour and all were in spanking good condition.

I had been spared to see another spring, and I thank God for it.”
