Best fishing areas in Lleida
Oliana Reservoir
One of the favorites of Lleida fishermen; the Oliana reservoir is the reference point for fishing in this province. Although over the years it has suffered unevenness, its clean waters and multiple bends offer athletes very good spaces for fishing of all kinds.
At the species level, the reference fish is the black bass. It has always been the quintessential capture of these waters, with specimens of up to more than two kilos being found. However, at present, despite the fact that such weights are not reached, there are specimens of good sizes, worthy of being removed with a good and effective technique.
If we are tempted to go for other species, barbel and carp They are also the order of the day and much better if we go to the Sallent area. For being very cold waters, the trout, both rainbow and common, thrive perfectly in this reservoir. Finally, the pike perch they also have their habitat in these calm waters.
Sant Llorenc de Montgai
We highlight this reservoir for being a cyprinid preserve and that, thanks to this and the good management it has received, it has managed to recover little by little and can currently be accessed, with prior permission with passes and a license, for fishing.
Something to note is that fishing is not prolific throughout the year, this is due to how cold its waters are, especially during the winter season. However, between spring and summer, the conditions are favorable to go not only for the appreciated tents, but by other species that also make life there: trout, barbel carpín, madrilla, chub, pike and zander, just to name a few.
Rialb Reservoir
This reservoir stands out for its youth, since its maximum quota was barely reached around 2010. Despite its recent date, it is a beautiful place for hiking or excursions and especially for sport fishing.
When it comes to species, two must be highlighted: on the one hand the trout, which usually grows very well in these waters of the Rialb River as they are cold and very pure. Another species that is very present and that constitutes an excellent target for fishing is the barbel.
Although the carp, common and royal, are present in this reservoir, it still cannot stand out as the ideal setting for carp fishing. However, if the efforts lead it this way, very soon it will be recognized as a special space for this appreciated sports practice in the region's beloved fishing activity.
