About Ogwr Fach, Blackmill
This is the Ogwr Fach at Blackmill, the river that meets the Ogwr Fawr there to form the Ogmore. The club’s Map 5 shows both banks as club water from the junction at Blackmill, running east alongside Graig Terrace and the A4093. The map does not show where the club’s water ends upstream, so this listing describes only the length it draws.
The fishing is for brown trout, grayling, sewin and salmon, and every fish is returned. Non-members can fish it on a day or week ticket at £20 and £65, with a Natural Resources Wales rod licence. The position shown is approximate, and the club’s maps mark any private banks that are out of bounds.
