About the River Honddu (Usk)

The River Honddu rises on Mynydd Epynt and runs south for about 11 miles to join the River Usk at Brecon, which takes its Welsh name, Aberhonddu, from the river. It has no major tributaries, though it gathers many small streams on the way. The B4520 follows the valley through hamlets such as Upper Chapel, Lower Chapel and Llandefaelog, and the last mile and a half runs inside the Brecon Beacons National Park.

Common questions about fishing the River Honddu (Usk), from day tickets and seasons to what to expect on the bank.

Prices vary by beat, season, and how many rods share the water. Whatever you book, an Environment Agency rod licence is needed on top of the ticket.
03When is the fishing season on the River Honddu (Usk)?
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.

05Do I need a licence to fish the River Honddu (Usk)?
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.
