Fishing in the Pallars Sobirá column

Fishing in the Pallars Sobirá column
Water is the source of life, but water also relaxes, becoming a source of tranquility, calm, and peace for many. And this calm, when combined with a gentle and peaceful sport like fishing, can become a true delight for those who take to the water. It is well known that the backbone of Pallars Sobirà is its Noguera Pallaresa River, which, along its course, feeds on lakes and ravines found in the valleys.

For countless years, fishing in this area has always been an activity that, along with hunting, is mostly carried out by beating or in groups. The Pallars Sobirà area is an interesting region for fishing in a unique, peaceful, and beautiful setting, where you'll be surrounded by dreamlike landscapes, where mountains, vegetation, animals, fresh air, and silence are the main features of the natural scenery.




If you follow the course of the Noguera Pallaresa River, you'll immerse yourself in one of the most beautiful and protected areas of the Pyrenees, thanks to its high natural and ecological value. This is one of the last remaining unspoiled corners of the area, and therefore one of the most attractive spots for fishing enthusiasts. The cold waters that form Lake Rosari de Arreu, approximately 1,974 meters above sea level and of glacial origin, are the perfect setting for enjoying unforgettable days of fly fishing and adventure in a natural landscape that captivates with its breathtaking beauty.

If Pallars Sobirà is known for anything, it's the crystal-clear waters that flow through its rivers and tributaries, which are loaded with native brown trout, creating an ideal setting for fishing enthusiasts. From May to September, you can fish for river trout in numerous spots in the area, as this high mountain setting offers perfect conditions for this sport. In Pallars Sobirà, there are fishing areas for all tastes and styles: catch-and-release, catch-and-release, open sections, and even sections perfect for children's fishing.

The ideal is to consult the best option in each case, depending on the weather and the state of the rivers in the area. Some of the most popular fishing destinations in this region are Alt Pallars (high mountains) and Sort and Gerri de la Sal (low mountains). The most common species that will fall on your hook are the Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, the native Brown Trout, and Salvelinus. A sport for everyone.
