We can't say what this place is, a big paradise still not explored. To fish more than 30 big barbels in one days is normal, always sight-fished and with dry fly. The barbel flyfishing is similar to bonefish flyfishing but dry fly only. In Spain is possible to fish barbel with dry fly. We can’t say what this place is, a big paradise still not explored.

Not having scales with us we photographed the fish and measured it up against the wading staff, making a mark to read off at home. The barbel was 24 inches long, we estimated it at around 5 1/2lb but when looking at weight charts 7lb was probably more accurate. When telling other club members we were informed that others had also caught barbel whilst using heavy nymphs.
