About the River Ewenny
The River Ewenny, Afon Ewenni in Welsh, is a tributary of the Ogmore of about 16 kilometres, or 10 miles. It comes from a network of springs and small streams on the high ground north of Pencoed. The two main arms, the Ewenny Fawr and the Ewenny Fach, meet to the north east of Bridgend, and the river then runs through a pastoral valley, along the eastern edge of Bridgend and on by Ewenny, to join the Ogmore close to the tidal limit.
The Wild Trout Trust describes it as very different in character from the Ogmore. A strong base flow and fairly alkaline water give it many of the features of a limestone stream. It does respond to heavy rain, but is much less spatey than its neighbour, and the base flow helps it through dry spells.
That richer water grows brown trout and grayling of a good average size. There is also a late run of sea trout, with some salmon, and the grayling are fished in winter.
