How to fish it · for Brown Trout
When
Trout season 1 May to 31 July. Spring olives and sedges through May; summer sedges through June and July evenings; the close arrives early in this Galician calendar.
Where
Boulder-strewn upper reaches through the Fragas do Eume — ancient Atlantic-forest gorge, Special Area of Conservation. Pool tails, riffle heads, and the seams behind boulders.
Method
Upstream dry to risers; dry-dropper through the riffles. The Eume runs through ancient forest — careful approach to wild trout in clear water. Walk softly, fish quietly.
Kit
9 ft #4 — Galician granite spate default. Floating line, 12 ft leader to 4 lb fluoro. Studded boots — granite cobble runs slick.
Why this works
Water at 18.9°C — above the brown trout caution line (18°C). Fish dawn or dusk only. Land it fast, wet hands, no air shots.

What would change the calculation
Cooler water — back toward the 10–16 °C ideal band — would lift the score and ease welfare.
A drop and clear would lift the flow and clarity scores.

Seasons & zones
- Sea trout 1 May → 31 July
- Trout 1 May → 31 July
Sea trout: Variable seasonal (2026) — The Eume holds reo (sea trout) in its lower river and estuary reach. Salmon no longer present. Sea trout are the migratory highlight — present and fishable in the right conditions but stocks are fragile and rainfall-dependent.
