About this water

A long Miño tributary running west from the Allariz basin through Ourense province. The Arnoia is mixed in character — slower lowland sections through the agricultural land south of Allariz, sharper broken water in the middle reaches where the river drops into the Miño valley. Wild brown trout throughout; the river runs warm in summer and is best fished in May and June.
