Río Viejo

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