Ever fancied angling in Spain? For sea anglers Spain has
coastlines on the Atlantic and the Mediterranean while inland there
is a wide variety of game and course fishing from lakes and rivers.
Most organised sea fishing on the Costas is from chartered
boat companies and despite the common belief about the Med being
void of fish, there is a lot of good sport to be had. Species
including tuna, sea bream, sea bass, gilt head bream, mackerel and
conger are quite plentiful.
For course fishing the
region of Aragon is probably the best. The river Ebro which flows
through parts of Aragon is Spain's longest river and
when it comes to coarse
fishing, you won't find better anywhere. Carp and catfish
angling is the main attraction with carp over 40lb and regular
catches of 100lb plus catfish. The record for the catfish is
currently 225lbs but this is likely to be broken soon. The hours
allowed for angling on the Ebro are a bit restrictive and are
enthusiastically enforced by the Guardia Civil. For carp you
can fish from 6am until one hour after darkness and for catfish 6am
until midnight. Most of the carp and catfish angling holidays
on the Ebro are in the provinces of Aragon and Catalunya.
There are now many companies offering all inclusive carp and catfish
angling in these areas.
The
Pyrenees region is full of sparkling rivers where trout abound and
licenses are easily obtained from local bars. Even in the
sunbaked south of the Coata Blanca and Costa del Sol there are good
areas for trout and barbel to be found. The Amadorio dam in
Guadalest has some big trout, as well as black bream. Galicia
the seafood goumet's paradise has some excellent sea fishing and
beautiful rivers and streams where excellent trout fishing is
available. A license is required for course and fly fishing in
most areas of Spain. |

Apart from the
Ebro, Spain offers many other coarse and fly fishing holidays.
Some of the best fishing in Spain can be had in the Ruidera area of
Castile and Leon. This area has a chain of fourteen lagoons
which are home to carp, pike, huge barbel and black bass. To read

In the north of Spain, there's some great sea
fishing off the rugged coastline of Galicia. Being tidal
unlike the Mediterranean bait is easily dug at low water.
There are numerous species of fish including Dorada (sea bream) and
Lubina (sea bass)
