Autumn/winter pike on the fly — big fish season. Pike are putting on condition and take large flies confidently. Fish dropping weed edges, deep channels, and structure. Start with a sinking line and move to faster-sinking as the water cools. Biggest pike of the year come in this window.
A fry-imitating pattern stripped through the margins can save a blank in autumn.
Keep an eye on changing conditions — wind shifts and cloud breaks can trigger short feeding spells.
Good ripple suits both bank and boat. Bank: work inflows, dam walls, and points. Boat: broadside drift covering wind lanes.

- Comunidad de Madrid licence required
- Check the current accessible shoreline — water-level changes can isolate bank access points and reveal or submerge bays
- No fishing in the buffer zones around the dam infrastructure.
A reasonable day here, though temperature isn't quite in the sweet spot.
