One of several city-adjacent cotos intensivos near the Asturian coast that were once regularly stocked for put-and-take trout fishing. 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.

Good late spring conditions for Coto Intensivo de San Andrés

Conditions on the water
Some readings unavailable — check directly before fishing.
The brief
The plan
Start with Perdigón (14-18) — on the point — slow figure-of-eight retrieve. Rainbows respond to more active retrieves — try short strips between pauses. If that does not produce, switch depth or speed before changing the pattern entirely.
If fish refuse on top, drop to a buzzer under an indicator at different depths.
Keep an eye on changing conditions — wind shifts and cloud breaks can trigger short feeding spells.
Bank fishing near inflows, dam walls, and weed beds. Move to find feeding fish.
What's on, when
