The Ebro is most famous for its huge stock of massive catfish. Tempting, hooking and landing a "ton" is one of the ultimate challenges for anglers in Europe today. If you've never experienced the raw power of a cat before, you'll be amazed at how hard these fish can fight.
Tactics for catfish include free roving and fixed live bait fishing (buoy fishing), as well as the ever popular pellets. The best time for catfish is from late March to around mid October. They usually spawn during May so be willing to switch to carp if necessary during this month. Tackle rental is recommended as these Ebro Catfish have a reputation for destroying rods and reels

The results for catfish during the years have been going from strength to strength on the Ebro. Pellet fishing is still the preferred choice for most anglers and the average sizes are increasing annually. More and more fish are coming out over the hundred and fifty pound mark and our guides have helped our customers catch fish of up to 265 lbs (120 kgs)! Often these huge fish are caught within a few hundred meters of our camp which is right on the bank of the river. If you are really lucky, you have a chance to catch one of the beautiful and rare albino catfish that swim in this part of the river.
