- 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 19.8°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.
Good ripple suits both bank and boat. Bank: work inflows, dam walls, and points. Boat: broadside drift covering wind lanes.

- Castilla y León licence required (Confederación Hidrográfica del Duero)
- Barbel, boga and cacho are protected during spawning — check current dates and any zero-bag rules
- Wels catfish is invasive: there are handling/retention rules and the species should never be moved to other waters.
A reasonable day here, though cloud isn't quite in the sweet spot.
