Fishing in Spain

[eaglet]

I don't know if anyone out there can help I've tried various agencies in the UK and Spain (inc. the Spanish Embassy ) I'm thinking of emigrating and I'm trying to find out all I can on coarse fiahing in Spain, dams/lakes/ponds/rivers etc, before I even thing about looking at properties. If anyone knows of web sites/addressess I would be grateful if you can post them on these pages. As said, those I have contacted do not answer or cannot help. If you've been out there and fished or read about it somewhere, any info. will be great. I appreciate that the Ebro will instatntly spring to mind, any info. on this would be fine, but I'm also thinking of further south where it is normally warmer for longer periods at a time during the year. I look forward to 'hearing' from someof you in the future.

I can't tell you much, but a friend of mine has just come back from Spain, where he checked out Barcelona harbour for some very large mullet. He wasn't disappointed!

Thanks GRAHAM X but I am after coarse fishing.

Message for one of the 'Mods' ( on the advice of Elton-computer trouble) Could you please move my article Fishing in Spain to a new forum, Coarse fishing, as I have had only one reply and feel that if I'd put it in this Forum first it would have been seen by more readers (also it's fast disappearing from view, it's on p5 of Non-fishing chat now)

Cheers Eaglet

Mullet fishing IMHO is coarse fishing. Fishing for mullet is a bit like fishing for chubb on steriods, just they happen to live in sea water. The methods used are just the same.

I agree it has to be the ebro! carp,crucians,roach,barbel,eels,bass,dace,mullet and cats. Its stuffed with fish and in the delta region where i have fished a couple of times there are lots of small ponds and irragation canals all holding common and crucian carp.

 

theres a report of a session i had last year here:

The only water in Spain I know anything about is the Ebro system in the Mequinenza area.But the fishing is great and there aint much I couldnt tell you about this area.Anything specific please feel free to ask.As for the temperature,admitidly in March you can get a slight frost first thing in the morning but its still hot eneough for most during the day!

Don't know anything about the fishing in Spain but I can tell you that it is seriously hot & dry down south. I was stationed in Rota years ago and it reminds me quite a bit of some of the desert areas in the US. Especially when you get a wind blowing across from Africa - things can get real warm and real dry real quick.

Fishing for a variety of different freshwater species is superb all over Spain. I would say that The rivers and lakes of the Guidiana River system are the best in central Spain. The Tao River is also superb. There are many other rivers, and some fantastic lakes/reservoirs to fish. Too many to list here.
