Not to be confused with the Monnow tributary, this Honddu begins life at Blaenhonddu on the Eppynt, a 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, an appropriate description for this picturesque trout stream.

The beat offers over 1¼ miles of quality Usk tributary fishing, which is all right bank only.

The beat is ideally fished with a 6.5 to 7.5ft, 2 to 3wt rod.

There was an outbreak of crayfish plague in the lower Irfon on the Wye catchment in July 2024 resulting in the deaths of the many of the native white-clawed crayfish. This beat contains a healthy population of native crayfish therefore, visiting anglers MUST ensure against cross contamination by approved check/dry/disinfection procedures, and importantly waders, nets and tackle should be sprayed with Virkon disinfectant before and after fishing.
