Río Genil

Flowing through Andalucía, Spain, Río Genil is a river that suits anglers willing to walk a bank. Most fish at Río Genil hold in identifiable lies — the same eddies, drop-offs, and shaded undercuts produce trip after trip. After heavy rain, Río Genil can colour up and rise quickly; that's often when bigger predators come out to feed, but wading conditions get dangerous.

Fishing Techniques

• For Largemouth bass

  Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.

• For Common carp

  Pre-bait the area with a similar bait you plan to fish with to attract carp and increase your chances.

• For White seabream

  Use a light line and small hooks, as White Seabream are cautious and can be easily spooked.
