How to fish it · for rainbow
When
Current conditions suit Coto Intensivo de San Andrés well for summer tactics. The ripple should help fish move and feed more confidently.
Where
Start with Ignita CDC (16-20) on a As per local method. 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.
The plan
Plan A

Start with Ignita CDC (16-20) on a As per local method. 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.

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.

Bank

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

About this water

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.
