¡Oyé muchachos! ¡Vamos a pescar en Leon! If you’re in France or Southern Europe, you can just load up the car and head off whistling toward León — first because gas is cheaper there and that alone puts you in a good mood, then because the food is more than good and it’s a welcoming land, and finally because it’s loaded with beautiful fish and amazing rivers!
Here we are with Sandro Soldarini, who’s come over from Italy, on the rivers of León with trout that’ll drive you wild! And of course, it’s a perfect destination for the fall season that’s just kicked off, even if this year it might feel more like summer (check the water levels beforehand…). Hop online and you’ll find plenty of guides — to start, the official tourism website.
As we say on the other side of the Pyrenees, “Que te lo pases bien”!
Spain, fly fishing, and a few days on the road.
We followed Sandro through one of Spain’s most fascinating fly fishing territories, between local traditions, new waters, and encounters that made this trip more than just a fishing session.
This is the full story of our journey in León.
