  Fishing in Portugal.

The Guadiana river system, forms a border between southern Portugal and Spain at its lower tidal reaches. It is considered one of Spain's foremost Comizo barbel rivers. Its tributaries and many dam formed lakes make for amazing fishing.
  There are a few companies in Spain offering some excellent fishing adventures, but none in Portugal with accommodation actually on the Guadiana river until now.Large, small head barbel
  We are based in the small historic town of Mertola where we have two houses. We fish a section of the river about five
kilometres upstream to a large weir, and about three kilometres downstream to a large deep pool area, which is fresh water tidal.
  The river varies from fast flowing tumbling glides where, during the spawning run in April and May, you can take Shad on the fly or small silver spinner, to deep slow pools where with one rod you can bag up with small barbel and carp while the other rod and bite indicator waits for the big comizo or big river carp. 

                                   The specimen barbel fishing could be just as good as in Spain.                 Links
