- Free fishing
Summer pike on the fly. Fish early (first light) and late (last hour) when pike push shallow to feed. Topwater is king — poppers and gurglers over weed beds. Mid-day fish hold deep in weed channels. Take a break during the heat of the day. Use a 9-10wt rod with a stiff butt for turning big fish away from weed. Welfare note: Water at 19.7°C — warm for pike. Fish dawn or dusk only. As a non-native invasive, handle by local rules: return one only where catch-and-release is legally permitted; elsewhere the official advice is to remove it from the water rather than return it.
Fish early and late, try deeper during the heat of the day with a fast-sinking line.
Evening tends to be the best period in summer — stay late if you can for a sedge or spinner fall.
Flat calm suits bank fishing near features — points, weed beds, and inflows where fish patrol.

- Castilla y León licence (Confederación Hidrográfica del Duero); Spanish/Portuguese border water — fish the Spanish bank under Spanish rules
- Barbel protected during spawning
- Zander and wels catfish are invasive with specific handling rules — check current Duero-basin regulations.
A reasonable day here, though cloud isn't quite in the sweet spot.
