Where is the best place to catfish in Spain?

Where is the best place to catfish in Spain? Easy, River Ebro!  The Cat-fish is the fresh water monster of Europe and it has to be said that the River Ebro in Catalonia is one of the best rivers in which to try and catch one of these super-large fighting fish. Ever since the Cat-fish was first introduced to the Ebro 35 years ago, this impressive species has done nothing but thrive.

Martin Fawcett of England caught a Cat-fish on the Ebro, which weighed in at a massive 215 pounds and one hundred pound plus Cat-fish are regularly caught in this ecologically-flourishing Spanish river. The English fisherman has been guiding other fishermen on the River Ebro for over 13 seasons and knows exactly where to go for the best catches.

When you hook one of these monsters the initial run out of line can be over 100 metres and these fish have stamina, which will have the fisherman fighting with them for up to an hour before they are landed. The River Ebro is an ideal environment for the Cat-fish and because of plentiful food and a perfect climate, these fish can grow at a rate of ten pounds per season.

If you are looking to catfish in Spain, October can be a particularly beautiful month for fishing in Catalonia. The sun is still warm in the daytime but without the stifling heat of high summer. Whatever time of year you decide to go fishing for Cat-fish, you won’t find many things in life more exciting than watching that float disappear under-water .

Imagine the fight that awaits just after the float ducks under? Imagine hooking a 200 pound giant, that’s the equivalent of landing a light- heavyweight boxer!

It’s no wonder that this stunning Spanish river is so famed amongst the fishing fraternity. In fact the Ebro recently made it into a local Cheshire newspaper as English angler, Frank Warrick of Wilmslow in Cheshire, landed a record catch on the Ebro, with two fish weighing in at over 200 pounds apiece!
