Rio Ebro Carp Fishing



The great thing about the River Ebro Is that it fishes well for 12 months of the year. In fact the carp can keep you busy whether it be the heat of midsummer or the cooler days of the winter months. Not that it ever gets cold and damp like the UK. Fish can be caught in all sizes even bigger than the 43lb lump shown here.

Andy caught the fish in early March and it was part of a period of 28 days fishing which saw over 7000lbs of carp caught with an average size 25lbs. Fishing with halibut pellets accounted for virtually all of the fish.Thats not to say that summer sport with carp is any less sensational. Multiple bags of carp with 14 -20 fish in a session is quite possible during the summer months but usually the stamp of fish is somewhat smaller.

End Tackle Requirements

When you fish with us we will supply you with 3.5lb t/c rods, baitrunner reels, alarms, pods, swingers, landing nets, unhooking mats, scales etc. If you prefer it we will equip you with medium feeder rods and approprate reels. We do not supply end tackle such as hooks, leader material, hooklengths, leads, rig tubing, lead clips, baiting needles, boilie stops.
We advise you to ensure that your tackle box includes all of the above.For specimen fishing leader is essential for fishing the Ebro due to the proliferation of Zebra mussels in the system which will cut through lighter lines like a knife. We recommend nothing less than 45lb Kryston Quicksilver. Hooks should be a strong sharp boilie hook size 4,6 or 8 for boilies/ maize and size 1s or 2s wide gapes for pellet. If you want you can purchase everything you need from our tackle shop.

Bait

EVA has been successful on particle, pellet and boilie baits. Heavy prebaiting with Maize and hemp often pays off during the summer months. Boilies/pellets work well early morning and evening into dark and the fish really go for the range of baits carried by the tackle shop. Fishing the method also works extremely well. We carry stocks of all the baits you will need for a successful trip to the Ebro.
