The Ulla is Galicia's best-known heritage salmon river, but current salmon stocks are badly depleted and salmon fishing is out of bounds. It remains a wide, lowland granite river of real trout-and-sea-trout interest, with extensive spawning gravels, moderate gradients and slower-clearing spates than many Asturian limestone systems. Lower and middle beats still matter for migratory-fish culture, but in practical terms this row should now be read as brown-trout and reo water on a river that once held major salmon stocks.
