Fly Fishing in the Pyrenees
Typical cost of a five day fishing trip to Aragon’s Pyrenean trout rivers for two visitors
Choice of stay, either at a ***hotel in Jaca, 75 euros per night for two guests sharing one double room, breakfast is included. Or at a luxury ****Parador Hotel on the banks of the River Cinca near Bielsa -see picture above, cost 115 euros per night, per guest with a five day discount card (excluding breakfast).
The 5 night card allows you to stay in different Parador locations. For example, you might decide to divide your time between enjoying the Pyrenees and fishing for Atlantic Salmon in Asturias. Click here to view the Parador hotel in Cangas by the banks of the River Sella.
Two day’s guided fishing, for two guests (English speaking guide), cost is 270 euros, and includes Aragon fishing licence. There are up to five local trout rivers to choose from.
Expat American angler Hugo Llorens accompanied his fishing mad family to Huesca province in Northern Aragón, in May 2007.
Hugo recounts “ The place has great ambiance, its food is wonderful, and the Cinca and Ara rivers are on your doorstep. We were able to obtain our fishing license from our hotel, and that included access to a restricted portion of the river Cinca, near to the town of Bielsa.
Both rivers are fine trout streams. We were able to catch several brown and rainbows fishing, using size eighteen red quills and black gnats, on the surface. Early morning and early evening were good for the dry fly lures. Early afternoon, I recall we caught our biggest fish, a nice brown - maybe close to a pound, using nymphs (size eighteen). I recall that we were fishing a Prince nymph.
It's a beautiful area and the trout water is wonderful, although nearly all of our fish were relatively small, at 6-9 inches, except for the fat brown trout, which I caught on public, free fishing water, onthe river Cinca just south of Ainsa. We fished with a floating line (3-4 weight).”
