Dry Fly Fishing for Barbel - sight fishing -  Hoppers and Poppers

Barbel fly fishing in Extremadura is amazing, and its not complicated! there are several venues where Dry Fly Fishing is a productive technique. The best of these venues, by far, is `La Serena´ Bank sight fishing is fantastic, screaming runs and aggressive takes, some sessions produce hundreds of hits for each angler.

This fishing mecca is famous for the aggressive Barbel which are also known as Spanish or Iberian Bonefish.Barbel fly fishing is most productive in May, June, July and September..

Access to the lake is easy, however for productive areas, now with low water levels, we recommend to travel by boat to access many areas and bays where the Barbel feed.  `

We offer Hosted and self drive options, the most popular self-drive boat fishing, its that easy - see below for details.

The Accommodation is superb, it is in a typical Spanish 'Casa Rural' for those who have never lodged in this type of accommodation, it’s like a mix of a B&B and a self-catering house. All rooms have own private bathroom, a TV, heating / air-con, free wifi, there is an open fire in the living room and even a terrace BBQ area. A very basic continental buffet breakfast is also thrown in, if your fishing buddy ´snores like a trooper´ individual rooms are available for a very small single suppliment. The ´Casa Rural´ is located close to banks and cafe bars, restaurants are around 5 minutes walk.
