La trout fishing in Catalonia it is really special. For sport fishermen, whether casting the rod in the sea or in fresh water is a challenge; however, trout fishing is always considered as an opportune moment for personal and quiet practice in a relaxed and peaceful natural environment.
Let's check some of the most outstanding areas for trout fishing in Catalonia and let's see the importance of them in the Spanish peninsular waters.
Trout and its fishing in Spain
These coveted inland water prey are found within the salmonid family. In Spain trout fishing is part of the continental sport fishing culture, constituting this important part in the fishing planning of the various autonomous communities, the seams and the management plans of the preserves themselves.
In peninsular waters we find several species, among which the common, rainbow and brown stand out, very present in Girona for example.
Best trout fishing areas in Catalonia
Ebro River and its mouth
In the Iberian Peninsula, the Ebro River is one of the richest flows in the country. Both along its route and at its mouth right on Tarragona land, it is then one of the most interesting places to visit to do various activities related to nature, including fishing.
Precisely at its mouth is where trout fishing activity is much more prolific in Catalonia. With its 320 hectares, this wetland meets the Mediterranean Sea, thus offering the opportunity to double the fishing opportunities for fans of this sport.
However, if it is necessary to recommend a fishing area, the preferred one is the Alfacs Bay. Here trout fishing is exceptional and putting into practice the sets, in any of its modalities, ensures not only the fishing of these, but also of a very good quantity of cyprinids.
Els Guiamets Reservoir
It constitutes one of the best fishing spaces in Catalonia for locals, this because it is quite small, capable of getting to know each other and going through it in a single day.
However, for trout fishing it is excellent, in addition to other species such as carp or black bass.
Recreational projects for trout fishing
WaterNatura dels Ports is a company located near Carlos Alfara where trout fishing is quite an adventure. They are a mixture of a fish farm and a fishing preserve that offers its visitors the opportunity to learn about the practice of trout farming, the sports activity of fishing and gastronomy, all in a unique natural environment.
They have 5 levels dedicated to breeding both common and rainbow trout. Precisely the second, third and fourth level is the one dedicated to sustainable sport fishing.
The second in a pond designed precisely for expert fishing, with a semi-natural environment of the same waters of the Ebro river and that also allows the introduction of another species such as the sturgeon, in this case males.
The third and fourth reservoirs are more familiar and where they dedicate themselves arduously to teaching fishing to young people and children.
