This gorgeous and unspoiled alpine region is home to countless rivers, lakes, and streams surrounded by the medieval charms of the Pyrenees Mountains. There are a wide variety of angling opportunities in this prolific area: casting to rising rainbow trout in high mountain lakes, gorgeous wild brook trout in pristine spring creeks, and native browns (including the Mediterranean zebra trout) in the lower reaches and tailwaters. Combining the variety of available waters and relative lack of fishing pressure in this part of the world makes this is a fly fishing purist’s dream.
Anglers will enjoy six full days of fishing for trout. This incredible departure is also perfect for the non-fishing companion with fully-guided excursions into the region available daily. The evenings will be spent in comfortable village accommodations with great Spanish cuisine.
Aren Lodge serves as the main Salvelinus base of operations in the eastern Pyrenees and is close to the fishing locations in Aragon, Catalonia, and the country of Andorra. The lodge features comfortable guest rooms, a welcoming lounge, dining room, and complete spa facility.
Double Occupancy/Shared Guide: $9,450 per person
