Neath and Port Talbot
Along the Beacons’ southern rim you will find ‘Waterfall Country’, a craggy landscape of wooded gorges and cascading rivers. Forest parks, meandering rivers, and peaceful canals abound in this greenest of places. The 850 acre Margam Park, containing the coarse and game Fishpond and Furze Mill fishing venues, is a famous visitor attraction in this area. The Afan Forest Park and Gnoll Country Park in the outskirts of Neath town are also popular destinations. Fishing can be found in locations near the striking Port Talbot docks, along the Dulais and Afan rivers and of course on the River Neath through the Vale of Neath. The Tawe also passes through on its way to Swansea Bay

Additional information; The River Dulais rises below the slopes of Mynydd y Drum and flows south-west passing the settlements of Seven Sisters and Crynant before cascading over the Aberdulais Falls below which it joins the Neath close to the tidal reaches of the River near Tonna. The river is essentially a brown trout fishery as the Aberdulais Falls forms a natural barrier to migratory species moving into the headwaters. Although the National Trust, in conjunction with a power-generating company, have installed a fish-pass at the falls to assist the passage of migratory fish there is no long-term record at present to show what effect the pass is having on migratory fish stocks.
