Where found |
|
SALMON Though in decline since the 1980s they are beginning to come back due to a lot of work in cleaning the rivers, policing and the installation of ladders. |
In the rivers of the north coast which flow into the Atlantic. |
|
SEA TROUT Even though they are generally in the same area as Salmon they are, however, doing much better. In September 2000 they were stacked up in the River Sella. |
Much the same range as Salmon |
|
TROUT Wild or stocked brown trout are found all over Spain. The fishing varies from high glacial depression lakes to lime stone rivers and chalk streams. In the 1970s Spain held arguably the most important stocks of wild brownies in Europe. |
All over Spain |
|
CARP The most important areas for Carp are the courses of the Duero, Ebro, Tajo and Guardiana. Big bags can be made almost anywhere. |
In almost all rivers and dams (large and small) |
|
CAT FISH Bigger cat fish up to 300lbs can be found in the Delta. Divers inspect the dam walls and use cages to save them being attacked. |
Big cat fish in the River Ebro and its dams |
|
BARBEL Some of the best fishing in Spain. The largest barbel (Barbus Comiza) of the rivers Tajo , Guadiana and Guadaquivir is the most ferocious - often fished with rapalas. |
Throughout Spain except the North-West |
|
TENCH Bred for the table in Extremedura, where they are highly prized. |
Found all over Spain except the far north. |
|
BLACK BASS First introduced in 1955. Excellent fishing in the dams on the Rivers Tajo, Guardiana and Ebro, also the southern dams of Chanza, Guardalcacin, Ferdandino and Zufre. |
All over Spain except the Northern coastal region and Mountain areas. |
|
PIKE Have recently become very prolific and not very welcome in the trout filled Orbigo, Elsa and Tormes rivers. All large rivers hold good pike. |
Again, found almost everywhere in Spain |
|
ZANDER Zander's up to 30lbs are not uncommon |
Mainly in the Ebro Valley and the Boadella Dam in Girona |
