Something that characterizes some areas of Spain in relation to inland fishing is the existence of fishing grounds. The importance of these is that pregulate and control a little more some stretches of water masses where this sport is practiced.
It is not only because of the economic implications that these preserves are allowed, but they have also helped conserve species, especially trout, from overfishing and the extraction of specimens that have not reached maturity.
What is a fishing ground?
Conclusion Specific sectors in the water masses of an Autonomous Community that regulate fishing activity given the volume of specimen catches and the number of fishermen. Thanks to the fishing reserves, it is intended to make better use of fish resources.
A peculiarity of the fishing reserves is that added to the fishing license issued by the community, it must have the daily fishing permit and be governed by the quota, as well as the size determined in the place.
Many fishing reserves also carry out repopulation activities, releasing sufficient amounts from time to time so that all visitors can have the same fishing opportunities.
