About Honddu - R Usk

Honddu - R Usk is over 1¼ miles of right bank on the Honddu, a tributary of the Usk. This is not the Honddu that runs into the Monnow: it begins at Blaenhonddu on the Eppynt, the mountain that divides the Brecon Beacons from the Cambrian Mountains, and flows south to join the Usk at Brecon. The Passport calls it a picturesque trout stream and suggests a rod of 6.5 to 7.5 feet rated 2 to 3 weight.
