How to fish it · for Rainbow
When
Conditions are not ideal but fishable at Coto Intensivo de San Andrés. As the heat eases this evening, fish may move up in the water column.
Where
Start with Pale Yellow Emerger (18–22) on a As per local method. Early in the day, try buzzers on a slow figure-of-eight or a booby on a fast-sink line near the bottom. Rainbows respond to more active retrieves — try short strips between pauses.
The plan
Plan A

Start with Pale Yellow Emerger (18–22) on a As per local method. Early in the day, try buzzers on a slow figure-of-eight or a booby on a fast-sink line near the bottom. Rainbows respond to more active retrieves — try short strips between pauses.

Plan B

Slow down everything. A booby on a fast-sinking line, left static, can pick up deep fish.

Watch for

Keep an eye on changing conditions — wind shifts and cloud breaks can trigger short feeding spells.

Bank

Bank fishing near inflows, dam walls, and weed beds. Move to find feeding fish.

About this water

Since COVID, there is no clear official evidence of intensive current rainbow trout stocking in public documentation, and local reports suggest these urban ponds now rely more on residual carp and sporadic trout than on regular top-ups. The regional government's post-COVID paperwork addresses permits and leftover dates rather than explicit stocking programmes. What remains is a mixed coarse venue with carp, some residual trout, and uncertain future management. Check very recent local reports before travelling specifically for trout — you may find more carp than salmonids.
