Start with Pheasant Tail Nymph (14–18) — on the point — slow figure-of-eight retrieve. If that does not produce, switch depth or speed before changing the pattern entirely.
Slow down everything. A booby on a fast-sinking line, left static, can pick up deep fish.
Keep an eye on changing conditions — wind shifts and cloud breaks can trigger short feeding spells.
A gentle ripple is ideal for drifting — broadside drift covering the wind lanes should be productive.

Conditions are ideal for Embalses de Riosequillo & Puentes Viejas — wind, cloud and temperature all line up.
Both respond to wind, overcast conditions, and stable water levels; level fluctuations can isolate access points. Spoon and fly permitted with barbless single hooks only. Coverage of permitted bank sections varies seasonally—confirm current access and restrictions before visiting. These stillwaters demand patience and observation: mobile populations require deliberate approach rather than blind casting. Wind creates opportunity; flat water requires exact presentation.
Two catch-and-release reservoirs on the Lozoya system—Riosequillo (Buitrago) and Puentes Viejas (upper basin)—offer bank fishing from trout season open through 12 October, then close entirely.
