Temporary Cessation of Angling on All Merthyr Tydfil Angling…

  • 26th March 202026th March 2020
  • by Daniel Lewis

Following a conversation between the Directors and consulting the latest advice from Angling Trust we are asking all our members not to fish our waters until advised that this is safe to do so.

Whilst we understand the proven benefits on active lifestyles, physical health and mental wellbeing that angling provides, as well as many anglers opinions that as an often solitary pastime angling could be a perfect way to isolate oneself, the current government advice is that angling in any form is NOT currently classified as one of the safe exercises in which to participate.

As an alliance, we also have a duty of care to the community on a whole and that should any angler become injured on the river bank or become involved in an accident whilst travelling to the river then that in itself would cause an avoidable impact on all emergency services, which could, in turn, have a significant impact on those needing emergency care during the pandemic.

We hope that all anglers will understand that we, as a responsible Association, and also the angling community in general, must take action to protect ourselves, our families and our communities through this period and that you will support us through what will hopefully be a short term closure.

We will continue to review the situation as it develops and update you in due course.

Thank You

Liam Walsh Club Secretary

on behalf of the MTAA Directors.

Oliver Simms

It is with deep regret that the Association has heard of the Passing of Oliver as he was known to all those who had contact with him from our Fishing Club over the years. He will be deeply missed by Dean and Darren and many of our older members will remember him well from the Early days of angling in Merthyr Tydfil from our generation.

Salmon and Trout Conservation

  • 7th August 20198th August 2019
  • by Daniel Lewis

As you may already know, we are now members of the Salmon and Trout Conservation. They are the UK’s only independent charity campaigning for wild fish and their environment. Their goal is for UK waters that support abundant and sustainable populations of wild fish and all other water-dependent wildlife. Members should receive more information about this via email. We hope to keep working with this amazing charity in the future!

For more infomation:

https://www.salmon-trout.org/

” Too much water is being taken out of our rivers, too much is being thrown into them and not enough is being done to protect our watery places – it’s our job to reverse this trend. We work to influence government policy, industrial practice and individual behavior which results in measurable improvements to the state of the water environment, leading to healthier wild fish stocks, improved biodiversity and less pollution in our rivers, lakes and oceans.

We aim to inspire, inform, involve and influence everyone who can take action to safeguard our water environments. Protecting and standing up for life under the surface is a cause worth fighting for, both for current and future generations. ”
