About Ogmore Angling Association
Ogmore Angling Association was formed in 1891 and controls around 14 miles of water on the River Ogmore (Ogwr) and the rivers that feed it, from the streams in the hills down to the main river and the estuary, where the lowest beats hold bass, mullet and flounder. Its members and visitors fish for salmon, sea trout (sewin), grayling and brown trout, and the Ewenny, which the club says is unstocked, is the wild trout and grayling water. All fishing on the club’s water is catch and release for every species, with barbless hooks.
This listing shows nine stretches that the club maps by name: the lower Ogmore from the river mouth to Merthyr Mawr, a booked Private Stretch for adult members, the Ogmore through Bridgend and up past Sarn and Brynmenyn to Blackmill, the Ogwr Fawr up to Ogmore Vale, the Ogwr Fach, and two stretches of the Ewenny. Spinning and natural bait are allowed on most of the water, and the Ewenny upstream of the A48 bridge is reserved for fly fishing only.
Non-members can buy a day ticket at £20 or a week ticket at £65, valid from 1 April to 30 September, online or from three tackle shops the club names, and the Private Stretch is not part of them. Adult membership is £100 with a £100 joining fee for new adult and concession members, £125 with the winter grayling permit; 65 and over or registered disabled £50 (£75 with the permit); juniors £10 or £20. There is a waiting list for adult and concession membership and junior membership is open. Membership renewal and applications go through the club’s Clubmate page.
