About this water

A short, picturesque Duero tributary rising at the spring of Ucero and falling through the Cañón del Río Lobos before joining the Duero near El Burgo de Osma. The Ucero combines karst clarity and a dramatic gorge setting with reliable wild brown trout fishing. The middle reaches between Ucero village and El Burgo offer the most accessible water; the gorge itself is partially within the natural park and requires careful access checks.
