Fly fishing Barcelona
It might come as a surprise, but just an hour from Barcelona, you can step into a world of wild valleys, green forests, and crystal-clear rivers: a hidden side of Catalonia made for fly fishing.
These mountain streams and mid-size rivers are home to strong brown and rainbow trout, thriving in cold, oxygen-rich waters. As temperatures drop after summer, the fish become more active again, rising eagerly to take advantage of abundant hatches.
While these rivers offer opportunities all year long, it’s during the winter and early spring that this region truly shines. When most other waters in Catalonia close, these rivers remain open, alive, quiet, and perfectly suited for technical, rewarding fishing days.
Expect a day of silent stalking and precision. You’ll walk along the banks in search of a few, select giants. One perfect cast, the right fly, and a rise.
And then, in the net, a trophy fish that might measure over 70 cm.
This can be a place for big rewards.
Meeting point
Vic
Nestled in the foothills of the Pyrenees, Vic is a quiet Catalan town surrounded by rolling hills, forests, and crystal-clear rivers. Just over an hour from Barcelona, it’s the gateway to one of the most productive trout fishing areas in Spain, offering a perfect mix of natural beauty, authentic local charm, and world-class fly fishing.
Catches & tecnique for Fly Fishing around Barcelona
The most effective technique for this itinerary is dry fly fishing, and that’s what makes it so extraordinary. Catching 3 to 4 kg trout on dry flies, with tippets as fine as 0.10 or 0.12 mm, is a rare opportunity.
It’s a game of stealth and sight. You’ll spot your target and approach with caution, casting small CDC flies with surgical precision.
It’s not easy fishing, but it’s trophy fishing.
Here, just a short drive from the coast, you might meet the trout of a lifetime.
