Catches & tecnique for fishing the Pyrenees
In these pristine rivers, all the trout are completely wild, making them wary, strong, and challenging to catch. The primary technique here is French nymphing, a method perfectly suited to these conditions. You'll be using long 12-foot rods, 9-meter leaders, 0.12mm tippets, and tungsten bead nymphs. This approach allows you to effectively target these cautious trout in the clear waters of the Pyrenees.
While French nymphing will be your main strategy, if conditions allow, you’ll also have the chance to switch to dry fly fishing, particularly when you spot trout rising to the surface.
This combination of techniques ensures a dynamic and engaging fishing experience, where patience and skill are key to success. Whether you're nymphing in deeper pools or casting dry flies to surface-feeding trout, you'll be challenged by the natural beauty and the elusive, wild trout of the Pyrenees.
