Beat 11 The Honddu
Vouchers - Adults 4/ Under 14s 2.
Wading difficulty: 2
The Honddu begins life at Blaenhonndu on the Eppynt, a large mountain dividing the Brecon Beacons and the Cambrian Mountains, flowing in a southerly direction to join the Usk at Brecon, or Aberhonddu. The river’s name derives from the Welsh for easy, happy or pleasant, a candid description for this picturesque trout stream. The beat offers over 2kms of quality Usk tributary fishing, which is largely double bank although anglers are asked to note that the top 650m is right bank fishing only (true right bank looking downstream). This stretch of river was coppiced in January 2006 so will provide easier than average access and casting.
