What we offer:

With over 7,000 km of rivers and diverse landscapes, this region offer you the chance to catch a wide range of species, from powerful 20lb river carp and big barbel, to the mighty Ebro catfish in the south of the region. Fly fishing enthusiasts have the chance to catch natural wild brown trout and to follow in the footsteps of Ernest Hemingway; an opportunity not to be missed. With such a wide range of possibilities you can choose your holiday package based on the species you want to target.

Your experienced guides will take you to the best areas to catch truly wild, strong fighting fish in beautiful, isolated areas undiscovered by the masses. The guides will also stay with you all day to make sure you have everything you need, be it a fresh cup of coffee or some tips, insuring that you can concentrate on what is really important; relaxing and catching fish!

Who we are:

Navarra Fishing Adventures, S.I. is the only registered company in Navarra offering guided fishing trips to clients.

But who are we? We are two fishing enthusiasts from England and Holland that have been living and fishing in Navarra for the last 8 years. Now that the rivers in the Pyrenees have been reopened to the public, we would like to welcome you to join us in fishing this beautiful region of Spain. We have detailed fishing knowledge of the areas where we will be taking you as well as a good understanding of the local culture, allowing us to offer you that little bit extra. All fishing locations have been chosen with great care to ensure that you get to experience all the variety of fishing that Navarra has to offer. We have also worked together with the Department of Fisheries to make sure that we can give you the best chance of landing some of the best fish found in the region.

Since we are a registered company in Navarra with the Tourism Department you can be assured that we comply with all the rules and regulations that apply in Navarra. These regulations are designed to protect you, as a client, and make sure that we adhere to all the quality requirements.

Navarra is known as the land of diversity and this name is well deserved as you will find a bit of everything that Spain has to offer in just a short drive, from the cool green mountains of the Pyrenees to the warm dry areas along the banks of the Ebro. This diversity is also reflected in the surroundings where you will be fishing, from impressive rock formations, home to vultures and other birds of prey, to the green forests that offer fish shade during the warm hours of the day.

Navarra Fishing Adventures is based in Pamplona, the capital of the region of Navarra and home to the world famous San Fermin festival and of course its bull runs. Surrounded by picturesque mountains, this lively city is the perfect place to start your fishing holiday with tapas (or pintxo, pronounced “pincho”, as they are known here) and a beer or one of the regions local wines. Navarra also has a lot to offer non-angling partners, from city sightseeing trips to hiking in the mountains. Best of all, much of these activities are underused and relatively unknown, which adds to the feeling of isolation and discovery.

The Pyrenees

In the Pyrenees you will stay in typical mountain towns with their own authentic style and Basque culture. Each town has of course their own small local watering holes where the local population can be found in the evening and where you can enjoy a typical Spanish meal and a cold beer or glass of local wine.

The small towns are surrounded by a carpet of pine forests that are home to a great variety of wildlife, such as the mountain cat, genet cat, wild boar, dear, river otters, beavers and some of the last remaining bears of the Pyrenees as well as a great variety of birds including the rare bearded vulture.

Middle Navarra

The centre of Navarra is dominated by two rivers, the Arga and the Aragón. These rivers, which flow down from the Pyrenees towards the Ebro, are home to a great variety of fish species. Here you will mainly be targeting carp and barbel.

As you fish in this area we will be staying in the medieval town of Olite with its impressive castle from the 14th century. This nice town offers you a great atmosphere to relax after a long day of fishing and a good chance to recharge your batteries in one of the many bustling small bars and restaurants which sparkle to life with the smell of tapas, the sound of clinking glasses and the hubbub of real Spanish living, a true insight into Spanish culture.

South Navarra, the Ebro

The southern border of Navarra is marked by the mighty Ebro. The Ebro has gained fame in recent years as the prime spot for wels catfish, with records being broken almost every year. Although the stretch of the river that flows through Navarra still does not have catfish of the same size as those found further south, the fish caught here are quickly gaining in size and have reached up to over 2 metres.

While you are fishing in the Ebro you will be staying in Tudela. This small city is famous for the influences of the Mores, who ruled the area from the 9th until the beginning of the 12th century, and whose impact can still be seen in the architecture of the old town. This city has a lovely relaxed atmosphere during the evenings as the locals go out to enjoy some tapas.

Visit Navarra Fishing Adventures' website for more information on the areas you will be fishing & staying.

You will stay in authentic rural houses set within the Pyrenees mountain villages of the north. These classic houses have been passed down from generation to generation. The rural houses are found in typical mountain villages and your stay here will give you a flavour of the Basque culture that few get to enjoy. You will be staying in peaceful towns which are set in some of the most spectacular scenery that the Pyrenees have to offer and will make sure that your holiday continues even when the lines aren’t wet.

Hotels or hostels will cater for your needs in the lively towns of Tudela and Olite each with their own attractions. Feel like going for a stroll through history after a day at the river, just walk through the old parts of these towns and soak up the lively evening atmosphere. Staying in these historic towns means that even when away from the river your well deserved break continues.
