The Appeal of the River Ebro
The River Ebro’s appeal to anglers lies in its vast and varied fish species, particularly catfish and carp. The river’s waters are home to the Wels catfish, one of the largest freshwater fish in Europe, which can grow to impressive sizes, sometimes exceeding 2.5 meters in length and weighing over 100 kilograms. Carp, too, are plentiful in the Ebro, with many anglers targeting common carp and mirror carp, which can reach weights of over 20 kilograms.

Catfish Fishing
Fishing for Wels catfish on the Ebro is a unique and exhilarating challenge. These giant predators are known for their size and strength, making them a sought-after catch for anglers seeking a test of skill and endurance. The catfish in the Ebro are most active from late spring to early autumn, with peak activity during the warmer months. Anglers typically use heavy-duty fishing gear to handle the power of these massive fish, employing techniques such as bottom fishing with live or dead bait, often using large pellets, fish chunks, or squid.Night fishing is particularly popular for catfish, as these nocturnal hunters are more active after dark. Specialized guides and fishing charters are available in Riba Roja, providing expert knowledge and equipment to help anglers maximize their chances of landing a trophy-sized catfish. The thrill of battling a giant Wels catfish, with its powerful runs and fierce resistance, is an experience that draws anglers from around the world to the Ebro.

Carp Fishing
Carp fishing on the River Ebro is equally popular, offering a different but equally rewarding experience. The river’s carp population includes both common and mirror carp, which thrive in the nutrient-rich waters of the Ebro. These fish are known for their strength and tenacity, providing a challenging and enjoyable pursuit for anglers.

Carp fishing on the Ebro can be done year-round, although spring and autumn are often considered the best times, as carp are more active and feeding heavily during these periods. Anglers use a variety of baits and techniques, including boilies, pellets, and maize, often employing hair rigs and other specialized setups to attract and hook these wary fish.
Many anglers practice catch-and-release for carp, ensuring that the fish population remains healthy and sustainable. The Ebro’s scenic beauty, with its tranquil waters and surrounding natural landscapes, adds to the allure of carp fishing in Riba Roja, making it a relaxing and enjoyable activity.We offer fully guided 24hr fishing trips.
