Barbel Fishing
At Nicely Netted our fishing trips have been put together so that you, the customer, will enjoy your time with us in Portugal and Spain.
There are several different species of Barbel in Portugal, some of the species grow to a very large size in weight, up to 40lbs.
Fishing for barbel is mostly in the rivers, unlike in the UK, where they can be found in managed fisheries, lakes and ponds. You can’t fish for barbel on an 8-10lb line and size 10-12 hooks, because the barbels here in Portugal fight like tigers!
Our aim at Nicely Netted is to provide access to organised guided fishing trips and coarse angling holidays in the beautiful Algarve and Alentejo regions in Portugal and the river Ebro valley in Spain.
The Itinerary
Typically, the day starts at 6.30 am, so that gets you fishing at approximately 7.15 am. A full English breakfast is available on the bank.
Lunch is grilled chicken or sandwiches served with salad and a choice of sauces, Piri Piri for the adventurous again served on the bank.
We finish the day at 7 pm, that gives us time to clean up and go for a few beers and something to eat, an evening meal will cost about 7 euros depending on what you choose.
How Much Will it Cost?
