A small urban reservoir near Avilés, formerly managed as a coto intensivo for put-and-take rainbow trout. Since COVID, the stocking programme has not been clearly reinstated and local reports suggest the fishery has shifted toward carp-dominated coarse fishing with occasional brown trout. Official documentation from the Principado covers permits and seasonal adjustments but does not describe any current intensive trout stocking. The reservoir still functions as a fishing venue, but fly anglers specifically targeting trout should manage expectations and check recent reports before travelling.

The plan
Plan A
Start with Perdigón (14-18) — on the point — slow figure-of-eight retrieve. If that does not produce, switch depth or speed before changing the pattern entirely.
Plan B
If fish refuse on top, drop to a buzzer under an indicator at different depths.
Watch for
Keep an eye on changing conditions — wind shifts and cloud breaks can trigger short feeding spells.
Either bank or boat
Good ripple suits both bank and boat. Bank: work inflows, dam walls, and points. Boat: broadside drift covering wind lanes.
