SPECIES

Brown Trout

The Brown Trout is the most common trout in the rivers and lakes in the area. The Autochthonous Brown Trout Mediterranean genotype, present in these waters for thousands of years, inhabits today in many rivers of the Pyrenees.

Rainbow Trout

It was introduced in the Pre-Pyrenees in the 1970's and today there are a few places to fish wild populations in Spain.

Brook Trout

Hidden at the source of some of the Pyrenees rivers, we find the perfect habitat for Brook Trout (Salvelinus Fontinalis); we could find excellent populations and inclusive lake virgin locations with this specie.

Barbel

This specie takes really good runs and each year there are more Barbel fly fishing enthusiast enjoying with their sight fishing along the pre spawn (May-June)
