The Great Ebru - 15/05/08

Was on holiday at Port Aventura, staying at the El Paso Hotel. Weather was shite, and we all got food poisoning in the hotel which was a bit worrying as Mel was 6 months pregnant.

Anyway, noticed a guiding service to the Ebru fro carp and cat fishing in the Trafalgar pub. Met up with a great bloke called Andy who took me out for the day (Andys website: The Carp Angler). We went to Flix and the water was flooding through as they had opened the dam right up. We therefore went back on the road for another 0.5 an hour and ended up at Rio Roca. Found a really nice bay to the edge of the dam, and Andy set up 2 rods each for us. Within a few minutes we had a run, all in all, we had about 10 runs and 6 fish on the bank.

Two of the fish I manged to catch on a fly rod, with a copper thorax pheasent tail nymph. Found a few pods of fish around the bay feeding on swarms of daphnia, with a bit of stealth and plenty of time I had my piece travel rod bent in action.
