Embalse de Tanes

Tanes sits in the Redes country, a steep green reservoir on the upper Nalón that also waters Oviedo and Gijón — so nobody is launching a boat here.

How to fish it · for Trout
When
Late spring to summer; note the left-margin closure below Coballes bridge until 15 June.
Where
Start with Griffith's Gnat (18-22) on a As per local method. Midday in warm weather — try deeper water or switch to a sinking line.
The plan
Plan A

Start with Griffith's Gnat (18-22) on a As per local method. Midday in warm weather — try deeper water or switch to a sinking line.

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

Tanes sits in the Redes country, a steep green reservoir on the upper Nalón that also waters Oviedo and Gijón — so nobody is launching a boat here. That leaves the bank, and the bank fishes better than the gradient suggests. The brown trout are wild and the setting is the Parque Natural de Redes, which means you fish among beech woods and the occasional incurious deer. There is a wrinkle worth knowing: the left margin below the Coballes bridge stays shut until the middle of June, so check the line before you commit a morning to it. Six trout is the daily limit, though sense and the no-kill habit both argue for fewer. A quiet, scenic, properly Asturian bit of water.
