Carp
The waters of the Riba Roja reservoir are home to an incredible number of beautiful carp, which attract many anglers from across Europe every year. The fish commonly reach lengths of over a metre and weights well over 20kg. Experience the battle with these very strong and feisty Spanish scaly fighters yourself!
Catfish
The Ebro is renowned water, a promised land for catching trophy catfish. There aren't many other places in the whole of Europe where you can catch bigger specimens, but when it comes to the sheer number of monster catches well over 2 metres long, the reservoirs on the Ebro River are clearly number one.
Zander
Zander is the target fish for thousands of anglers who come to the Ebro from all over Europe to enjoy fantastic moments catching this predator. Although for many anglers the Rio Ebro is associated more with catfish fishing, the fact is that far more zander are caught here. Catches of trophy specimens over 80 cm are by no means exceptional here! And with a bit of luck, you can catch a great many zander in a single day.
Perch
Recent years have been unusually favourable for the condition of perch. The population of these beauties has multiplied several times over here, and the fish grow to truly shocking sizes. The stretches of the reservoir around our campsite, with their many sunken trees and other natural hiding spots, are considered among the best perch spots on Riba Roja.
Black Bass
Despite its diminutive-sounding name in some languages, this is no insignificant little fish. It's a highly prized sport fish, a predatory fighter that offers plenty of fun and excitement, especially during the summer heat, when other fish show little activity. The long reed beds along the banks near our campsite are renowned bass spots, among the best on the entire Riba Roja reservoir.
Fishing at our Almaebre campsite also comes with the advantages of Catalan fishing regulations. Unlike in Aragon, you don't have to stop fishing after dark until dawn, because you can fish 24 hours a day, non-stop, and you can also camp out right on the bank of the reservoir. None of this is allowed under Aragon's rules.
And if you add to that the campsite's excellent facilities with a bar, kitchen, wifi and boosted phone signal on site, comfortable accommodation just a few metres from the bank, and new boats with reliable engines, the choice is clear…
Close your eyes and picture the sun-drenched surface of the reservoir, hiding fish you've until now only heard about in stories, read about online, or seen in films. Beautiful nature, peace and tranquillity all around… Now you too have a unique chance to experience these moments and try your luck and fishing skills in one of the most sought-after freshwater locations in the world. All it takes is very little – decide and book your stay with us. Welcome to Almaebre!
The lower reservoir was created by flooding an extensive valley with dense forest and numerous orchards. No one cut down the trees, so beneath the surface a place full of natural hiding spots was created, absolutely ideal for fish life. This makes it all the more demanding for anglers, though. The solution is to head out onto the water with an experienced local fishing guide: we'll be happy to arrange one for you by prior agreement. Our local guides know the best fishing spots as well as the habits and behaviour of the fish perfectly, and with them by your side you can more easily land the catch of your life. So if you're hesitating about whether to set off to Spain to fish and catch your trophy fish, don't hesitate – come on over. We're fully at your disposal.
