How to fish it · for Brown Trout
When
Through the Castilla y León trout season. Spring olives April through May; summer sedges in evening hours; small dark flies into autumn close.
Where
Pool tails and pocket water through the Segovian valley. The Cega runs from the Guadarrama — clear granite water, intimate scale.
Method
Upstream dry to risers; dry-dropper through the riffles. The water reads clear — long leader, fine tippet, careful approach.
Kit
9 ft #4 — Castilian default. Floating line, 12 ft leader to 4 lb fluoro. Studded boots — granite cobble runs slick.
Why this works
Water at 18.3°C — above the brown trout caution line (18°C). Fish dawn or dusk only. Land it fast, wet hands, no air shots.

What would change the calculation
Cooler water — back toward the 10–16 °C ideal band — would lift the score and ease welfare.
The dawn and dusk windows score higher than the midday lull.
