One of the greatest advantages that Sevillians and all the inhabitants of their province have is that the variety of fishing areas in its territory is wide.
From reservoirs, streams and rivers, the possibility of throwing the rod in any of these spaces is possible; with extraordinary results since the quantity and quality of species that inhabit its waters makes fishing the most successful of activities.
If we talk about a place that we can consider the best fishing spot in Seville, that is none other than his own Guadalquivir river, on its way through this province.
You can fish in the Guadalquivir River
El fifth largest river in the Iberian Peninsula, crosses from its source in the Sierra Cazorla, almost all the provinces of the Community of Andalusia.
On its way, from east to west, it leaves approximately 57 reservoirs in its wake and ends at its mouth towards the Atlantic between Huelva and Cáliz.
Es perfectly navigable and along its route a row of southern oaks, pines, white poplars, olive trees, orange trees, as well as an extensive flora and fauna that constitute true postcards for those who travel their journey by boat or on excursions.
Fishing in the Guadalquivir as it passes through Seville
Since ever, fishing in the Guadalquivir has been part of the culture of the city. Especially for its incredible conditions and some peculiarities of its waters, just as it passes through Seville.
Something that should be highlighted about the Guadalquivir is that precisely because of its navigable condition, it is considered a dock that has favored the practice of recreational fishing.
Towards the mouth of Sanlúcar de Barrameda there is a slope that allows the salt water inlet, this constitutes an opportunity for the presence of adaptable species such as sea bass. In addition, this peculiarity allows fishermen of all modalities to coexist.
There are sections that are considered very interesting for fishing, given the proliferation of various species, among these we have the one that goes from the bridge from Alamillo to the Egg of Columbus. Another critical point is the one that goes from Triana bridge to Punta del Verde.
What species are found in the Guadalquivir
When it comes to species, the fish that stands out the most in everything related to Seville is the black bass. Undoubtedly, it is the favorite at the moment of making the sets because it is present in practically all the sections and with specimens of sizes and weights worthy of a photo. To locate it? Nothing better than detecting the presence of your favorite food: the sapwood.
The cyprinids are others that make life in these waters, with very good results in terms of their reproduction. The fishing championships of these, such as the tent, are well known by the inhabitants of Seville.
On the other hand, we already highlighted the presence of areas with salty waters, this helps to see good specimens of sea bass, navigating perfectly between both waters, delighting sport fishermen.
As we see, if a place is the ideal in Sevilla to make an excellent fishing session, if you get away from home, that is exactly the Guadalquivir.
