The most practical fly day from Zaragoza, and honest about what it is: a stocked coto on the Isuela reservoir under the limestone shoulders of the Sierra de Guara, an hour up the road from the city. Nobody will mistake it for a wild Pyrenean stream, but a stocked reservoir fished well on a buzzer or a slow nymph is a real day's fishing, and on a spring morning before the heat comes off the rock it can be a good one. Rainbows make up most of the stock; the odd brown turns up. It is the right answer when the mountain rivers are blown out, or simply too far for the hours you have.
