Pyrenean Navarran river flowing through the Salazar valley before joining the Aragón system. Classic clear-water trout basin with a fast mountain response and a strong post-snowmelt early-summer window.

How to fish it · for Brown Trout
When
Nymphing can work through most of the day.
Where
Cover mixed depths.
Method
Start with tight-line nymphs and adjust if fish rise or drift higher.
Kit
9 ft #4 rod, floating line, 12 ft tapered leader to 4–5 lb fluoro tippet.
Why this works
Water at 21.4°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.
The dawn and dusk windows score higher than the midday lull.
Directions
Seasons & zones
- Trout 1 May → 30 June
CAUTION: Eska–Salazar basin appears on Navarra's standing list of seven RSS basins but is NOT listed in the 2026 permit allocation breakdown. Do not assume open ordinary RSS access without checking tramo-specific rules first. If accessible, all catch-and-release.
