The plan
Plan A

Start with Foam Beetle (14-18) on a As per local method. If that does not produce, switch depth or speed before changing the pattern entirely.

Plan B

Fish early and late, try deeper during the heat of the day with a fast-sinking line.

Watch for

Evening tends to be the best period in summer — stay late if you can for a sedge or spinner fall.

Either bank or boat

Good ripple suits both bank and boat. Bank: work inflows, dam walls, and points. Boat: broadside drift covering wind lanes.

About this water

The reservoirs of the lower Tormes spread across the Castilian plain below Salamanca, big open waters under a wide sky where the fishing changes with depth and season. The cooler, oxygenated reaches near the inflows and dam hold trout; the slower, warmer lower water belongs to barbel and the coarse fish. This is a country of light and wind as much as water — bright, exposed, and best worked early and late when the heat eases. Find the cool, find the moving water, and the trout will be near it. It rewards an angler who reads the reservoir like a river that happens to be standing still.
