In the Catalan Pyrenees, the Noguera Pallaresa River is located in the town of Sort . It is the second largest river basin in Catalonia and is a very wild, fast-flowing river with excellent fishing and spectacular scenery. Its trout are wild and not easily fooled. Fishing in this river is permitted from March to October, but the best time is summer (June, July, and August).
Workers from the Ibérica de Energías company discovered what could be considered one of the largest native trout (Salmo trutta) ( 8 kilos ) found in recent decades in the eastern Pyrenees, so if you are lucky you might come across one of these.
To enjoy recreational fishing in Catalonia, you must have a fishing license that authorizes the holder to fish in inland and maritime waters. You can apply for one through this website by filling out a form. Fishing permits can be obtained from local offices and territorial services of the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food, the Department of Natural Environment and Housing, and the Catalan Federation of Fishing and Casting Sports, or through La Caixa's Servicaixa terminals.
