How to fish it · for trout
When
Conditions are not ideal but fishable at Embalse de La Granda. Early morning is often the most productive window in summer — make the most of it.
Where
Start with Foam Ant (16-20) on a As per local method. If that does not produce, switch depth or speed before changing the pattern entirely.
The plan
Plan A

Start with Foam Ant (16-20) 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

Terrestrials may strengthen through the middle of the day as conditions warm.

Bank, sheltered shores

In wind, bank fish the lee shore — boats can anchor in productive areas if conditions allow.

About this water

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.

Why this score
