About the Ogwr Fach

The Ogwr Fach is one of the two main branches in the headwaters of the River Ogmore. It flows south through Gilfach Goch, and for much of its length it follows the boundary between Bridgend and Rhondda Cynon Taf. It joins the Ogwr Fawr at Blackmill, and from there the two rivers carry on as the Afon Ogwr.

FAQ

Ogwr Fach FAQs

Common questions about fishing the Ogwr Fach, from day tickets and seasons to what to expect on the bank.

01Can I fish the Ogwr Fach?

Much of the water is privately managed, but plenty of it is open to visiting anglers through day tickets, syndicate places, and club memberships. FishingBeats lists 1 beat on the Ogwr Fach, and each beat page shows who runs the water and how to book.

02How much does it cost to fish the Ogwr Fach?

Day tickets on the Ogwr Fach start around £20. Whatever you book, an Environment Agency rod licence is needed on top of the ticket.

03When is the fishing season on the Ogwr Fach?

The statutory trout season varies by region: on the Hampshire chalk streams such as the Test and Itchen it runs 3 April to 31 October, while rivers in the Thames catchment, including the Kennet, close on 30 September. Many fisheries set shorter dates of their own within that window, and grayling fishing carries on through the winter on many beats. Check the permit dates on each beat page before you book.

04What fish can I catch in the Ogwr Fach?

Wild brown trout are the mainstay of most chalk streams, with grayling on many rivers. The mix varies from beat to beat, so check the species on the page for the water you want to fish.

05Do I need a licence to fish the Ogwr Fach?

Yes. Anyone aged 13 or over fishing for trout, salmon, or coarse fish in England needs a valid Environment Agency rod licence, bought online in daily, weekly, or annual form. It's separate from the beat ticket or syndicate fee, so factor it in before you go.
