Spanish Pyrenees
FLY FISHING IN THE SPANISH PYRENEES
The varied landscapes of the Spanish Pyrenees offer several different fly fishing options, from high mountain lakes with spectacular views, hidden gorges teeming with zebra trout and brown trout, to stunning mid-size mountain streams home to larger trout and the Iberian barbel. These spectacular fishing venues are situated within the Ordesa National Park, certified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The most notable target species are the wild zebra trout, endemic to the Mediterranean region and a beautiful and well-preserved treasure. Anglers can fish for brown trout, brook trout, rainbow trout and barbel. Fishing is mostly with dry flies but nymph and streamer fishing is good in the spring and autumn. The season runs from March to November.
With a range of accommodation options and a plethora of activities in the region this is a perfect sunny getaway for fishers and non-fishers alike.
