Swamps and reservoirs for fishing in Guadalajara
Almoguera swamp
Located in the course of the Tagus River, this small reservoir is part of what is colloquially known as "The Sea of Castile", this due to the various masses of water that come together in the region.
It dates from 1947 where it helped to complement the Bolarque dam system. To describe it, it could be pointed out that it is long, narrow and without characteristic features. However, although it could not be said that it constitutes a focus of tourist attraction, it has gained its own reputation for good fishing for common carp up to 15 kilograms what it offers
Its waters are not only home to this species, but also provide shelter to others such as the barbel, pike, zander and black bass. This good presence of fish is also due to the fact that its waters have maintained a good flow over the years.
Its easy access from the road makes it easy for visitors to reach it, however some steep parts make it difficult to cover the entire place without some effort. Despite this, the visit is worthwhile for amateurs or experts in the art of fishing.
Buendia Reservoir
Another one that is part of the so-called “Sea of Castile” and which also borders the province of Cuenca. Its waters are supplied by the Guadiela River, and its extension reaches approximately 8.000 hectares.
At the sport fishing level, it constitutes the peak of the areas, this thanks to its crystal clear waters in which the population of varied and fishable fish: pike, black bass, pike perch, percasol sunfish, salverino and many more are possible to get in this fishing paradise.
If we talk about the queen species, we will point out the Carp as the most common in population within this reservoir. Several places away from the dam offer good sessions, recommending for a profuse bite the panizo in depth and the boils as bait.
Entrepeñas Reservoir
One of the most recognized not only in the sector but throughout Spain. It is also part of the “Sea of Castile” this despite not being precisely in its usual splendor; Its waters, like those of many others, usually suffer many casualties, but fortune always smiles on the fishermen who continue to enjoy a fantastic population of prey here.
What species stand out in Entrepeñas? Pike perch above all, since it has been one of the best adapted to these waters. Abundant like no other although with sizes from small to medium.
Others that will also delight the practice of sports will be the pike, black bass, carp (to a lesser extent), tench, bogue and barbel. So don't hesitate to come to this fishing paradise in Guadalajara, its waters and its people will always be happy to welcome you very well.
