Very nice fario taken dry.

"FROM Catalonia a stone's throw from the border, to the Rios in the south of León bordering Portugal"

The river management policy is far from being that of France. A real interest in the protection of the environment and the development of our sport is a priority for the Ministry of Agriculture in charge of river management. To give a concrete example, a river like the Rio Tormes includes a multitude of routes on its fishable line: fishing reserve over several kilometers, "Cotos" (controlled fishing courses) on the best sectors, "free" zone fishable only with a regional license, etc ...

And most importantly, the Leon region has been completely No Kill for 4 years now!

With the exception of a few courses with one or two takes per day.

To put it simply, a biotope adapted to large trout, insects galore, exemplary fish management ... I think Léon will soon be one of the best destinations in Europe for dry fishing.

Rio Tormes

Le Tormes on the upper part of one of the most famous Cotos

A large calm river, the Tormes winds its way through the scorching plain of Salamanca. Flat calm, then the hatching of the long awaited small pale yellow mayflies arrives. The trout come into activity. The game of chess with the trout of your choice begins. It's up to you to do the first "move", not too fine wire, small pale yellow emergent, to pose curve one meter above the gobage… Refusal… And the part has only begun…

The Rio Tormes trout have a peculiarity that many other trout in Spain share, it is an increased knowledge of false flies. If the color is not correct, it will be a drift in the wind ... A micro dredging and it is a guaranteed refusal ... A full box of fly is necessary to apprehend these trout educated by the best Spanish fishermen .

Isaac and Noah on the Segre

Two young fishermen, members of the APN, southern Ardèche fishing school.

Catalonia, another Spain.

I would like to tell you about the Rio Sègre on its upstream part that I have been traveling for several years now. Mid-mountain river with a low drop and a powerful volume of water El Segre is a perfect playground to work on the finesse of your drifts like a nymph. I like to organize stays there at the end of the season. September and October are great months for fishing there.

The Indian summer on the other side of the Pyrenees is a good opportunity to catch some very beautiful fish after our French closure.

In addition to this, you need to know more about it.

Beautiful marked veins of water, large boulders and submerged trees. The currents collide to create perfect posts with zebra farios. At the end of the season, swallowing is rare, the nymph is often the technique I practice the most.

The nymph is sometimes a necessary evil for the majority of dry purists; often considered fake with a fly rod… And this is not completely wrong! But that doesn't mean it's easy to fish well as a nymph ...

I offer nymph advanced training courses known as "Spanish-style". Daggerboard work, precision casting, choice of nymphs and subtlety of shoeing ... One more string at the flycatcher's bow for even more versatility at the water's edge!

When it comes to accommodation, a lot of choices are possible. From a fishing trip in a chalet with a snack at the water's edge to a hotel overlooking the Sègre valley with a meal in the restaurant.
