Catfishing on the Ebro

The catfish in the River Ebro are well established. The lower Ebro contains a large head of good catfish, carp, Zander and many other species. Whilst the catfishing can be excellent when the right river conditions prevail, the larger fish are showing more frequently each year, moving downstream from the prolific areas above the dams.

Feeding on the vast shoals of mullet on the lower reaches. A 150lb fish is a realistic target for the specimen hunter, the magical 200 pounder cannot be too far away

Barbel Fishing

The Guadiana river system containing the Ruidera lakes and reservoir of Peñarroya (South-Central Spain, 250 km South from Madrid, in the province of Ciudad Real) are home to the largest concentration of Giant Barbel in the world, regularly reaching in excess of 10kgs and with the current record standing at 14.7kgs, a 15kg fish cannot be far away.

This rich productive river system also offers the chance to target 30lb plus Carp, Black Bass, Pike and Trophy Rudd. Historically the reservoirs hold more Barbel, but they do not reach to such large sizes normally averaging 7-9kgs However in the older lake systems the mature fish can reach up to 15kgs.
