The maps of the Taff Catchment have been broken into three sections: Pontsticill to Junction Pool, Junction Pool to Troedyrhiw, and Troedyrhiw to the Quakers Yard Bridge.
The Association controls all water edged in red. Trelewis AA controls the water below Pontygwaith Bridge on the right hand bank facing downstream for approx 800 meters. Signs are present to assist anglers, and indicate the direction in which they should proceed.
