Pardón de Meana

Asturian local dry

TroutSurface

Named after Meana — a small village on the Caudal river in Asturias. One of those purely local patterns that was tied to match a specific hatch on a specific stretch, and discovered to work everywhere on the same river system.

Fish this when

Spring and summer on the Asturian limestone rivers, particularly the Caudal and its tributaries. During afternoon hatches of pale olives or pale wateries.

Why it works

Village patterns are hyper-local for a reason — they are tied by people who watch the same water every day. The Pardón de Meana reflects accumulated observation of what the Meana trout actually eat.
