You will notice that there is no introduction to this section yet. 



I would like to fill this gap with an introduction from a local angler [or someone who is a frequent visiting fisherman] for every one of the geographical pages on Fatfisherman.com.

The many thousands of anglers now regularly using these pages prefer to read something written by someone who can see the area from an insider's point of view. They know the best spots, not just the ones that first time or overseas visitors usually visit or that are well known outside of the area. 



Each introduction carries the e-mail address of the contributor so that anglers can get in touch with them if, for example, they are planning a trip [unless the contributor is unable to do this] so it could bring you extra business if you own a local fishery or tackleshop, charter boat or magazine etc. 



Please get in touch if you feel you can contribute an introduction to this page - you don't have to be an expert; I'm not!

Its sister site, Fatbirder.com is regularly used by hundreds of thousands of birdwatchers when planning overseas trips or birding closer to home. That site gets four million hits a month and has a high Google rating because it is an information resource that is both comprehensive and trusted.

Help me make Fatfisherman.com the first point of reference for anyone who wants to go fishing anywhere in the world!

Secretary - D.N.Humphreys - 82, Darren Wen, Baglan, Port Talbot SA12 8YN - 01639 820150 - secretary@afanvalleyangling.com - "....Rising high in the mountains of Glamorganshire, the river Afan flows through the once heavily industrialised Afan Valley before entering Swansea Bay at Port Talbot. Its history from 1147 to the present day is as turbulent as the river itself. Like all rivers in the South Wales Valleys, it suffered from the ravages of the Industrial Revolution, but has emerged today as a symbol of what can be achieved by a small band of dedicated men, unwilling to accept the legacy of the past and who are determined to restore their heritage......" from The Afan Fisheries by Ivor Lewis...
