Catches & tecnique for fly fishing the Pyrenees
Here, you'll find only wild brown trout, often on the smaller side (20-25 cm), though the occasional big surprise is always lurking. These trout wait for the summer season to feed and make up for the winter’s scarcity. They are, therefore, extremely voracious, and it’s not uncommon to see them attacking large grasshoppers or terrestrials that have fallen from nearby branches.
The best way to fish these Pyrenean streams and lakes is with dry flies, using lightweight rods that make it easier to cast under the foliage while keeping your backpack light.
This is a fast-paced style of fishing, moving from one pool to the next, and it's incredibly fun, primarily fishing with dry flies and often sight fishing.
