Fishing in Portugal.
Welcome to fishing in Portugal. We are based in the
small Portuguese town of Mertola. From here we offer
fishing from our boat or guided trips on the river
Guadiana for Shad when in season, or just coarse fishing
in the town. Fishing from a boat offers a chance
for huge Zander and the famous Comizo Barbel. The town
council of Mertola has provided excellent river fishing
platforms within short and easy walking distance from
the accommodation we provide. the river offers fishing
for silver fish and Carp and Barbel.
The Guadiana river forms the border between southern
Portugal and Spain at its lower tidal reaches. It is
considered one of Portugal's foremost Comizo barbel
rivers. Its tributaries and many dam formed lakes make
for some varied fishing. Fishing in Portugal is not like
Northern Europe, no need to get to your best spot early
you have the place to yourself.The river varies from
fast flowing tumbling glides where, during the season of
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. For our Portugal fishing guests we
provide detailed maps and GPS coordinates of the good
swims in the area so you don't have to waste time
finding the hot spots.
Fishing in Portugal offers of lot
of variation.
The reservoirs in the
area around Mertola
offer some of the best Largemouth bass fishing in
Europe and are well worth trying. This tuned up perch
offers some great sport on a lure or fly rod and is
the fish you probably haven't encountered if you live
in Northern climes.The town of Mertola has all the
services you need, supermarkets and a local market for
fresh fish and vegetables. There are plenty of bars
and restaurants in the town so you won't go hungry or
thirsty. Mertola has the long rich history with plenty
of archeological evidence in their many museums.
There's more in Mertola than fishing in Portugal. We
offer our daily guid service or package deals where we
can collect and return you to Faro airport and provide
accommodation.
