Further Information

This fishery is situated at the village of Libanus on the A470 between Merthyr Tydfil and Brecon. It offers approximately ¾ of a mile of double bank fishing for small wild brown trout.

Access from the main road is via the Public Right of Way beside the chapel. On reaching the bridge over the river, there is a short length downstream on the west bank.

From here it is double bank fishing up to the stone bridge, and from the stone bridge half a mile of singe east bank upstream. The river itself is hard fishing.
