How to fish it · for Brown Trout
When
Through the Navarrese trout season. Spring olives April through May; sedges through summer; small dark flies into the autumn close.
Where
Pool tails and the seams behind boulders through the upper Aragón valley. Pyrenean piedmont character — clear water, classic Iberian wild brown trout water.
Method
Upstream dry to risers; dry-dropper through the riffles. The Aragón runs clear Pyrenean water — long leader, fine tippet.
Kit
9 ft #4 — French freestone default. Floating line, 12 ft leader to 4 to 5 lb fluoro. Studded boots.
Why this works
Water at 23.8°C. This is the line where catch-and-release kills brown trout. Do not fish for them today.

Seasons & zones
  • Trout 1 May → 30 June

    The Aragón straddles Navarra and Aragón communities. Upper sections (Jaca area) may follow Aragonese regulations. Navarran sections fall under RSS rules — all catch-and-release, daily basin permit required. Below Yesa reservoir the river changes character: regulated tailwater flow. Check tramo-specific status for the exact stretch.
