Overview
Spain remains one of flyfishing’s best kept secrets. Winding their way through limestone gorges, the rivers of Guadalajara region in Spain offer spectacular backdrops and beautiful, fin-perfect wild brown trout, which when combined with near-bankable Spanish sunshine make for fantastic freestone river trout fishing to rival the Baltics.
Guadalajara’s rivers are only a couple of hours northeast of Madrid – an easy two hour budget bounce from most British airports. Accessibility like that makes for all sorts of sporting break possibilities – combine a couple of day’s fishing with a city break in Madrid, or just make a long weekend of it.
For less than the cost of a beat on the Test, you can have a day’s guided fishing, accommodation in a rural Spanish guest house, and your fill of local cuisine, and sunshine in which to enjoy it all.
