- Free fishing
- Fly only
Peak season for carp on the fly. Early mornings and evenings are best — carp cruise the margins, surface-feed, and tail in shallows. This is pure sight-fishing: walk, spot, stalk, cast. Keep low, tread softly, wear drab clothing. 5-6wt rod, 15ft fluorocarbon leader for sub-surface; floating line for surface. Have both a bread fly and a nymph rigged and ready.
Fish early and late, try deeper during the heat of the day with a fast-sinking line.
Evening tends to be the best period in summer — stay late if you can for a sedge or spinner fall.
Good ripple suits both bank and boat. Bank: work inflows, dam walls, and points. Boat: broadside drift covering wind lanes.

Numbers are intensity 0 (none) to 3 (peak) — a guide, not a guarantee.
- Castilla y León licence required (Confederación Hidrográfica del Duero)
- Special-regime water — boat fishing permitted with the corresponding navigation permit
- Zander and pike are non-native predators with specific handling rules; check the annual order
- Reservoir is currently free of wels catfish.
A reasonable day here, though cloud isn't quite in the sweet spot.
