Wels Catfish 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 has been a stocking program of Wels Catfish in the last five years and as from January 2007, Nicely Netted will be running Catfish Tours. I have found the odd catfish in some rivers and reservoirs whilst fishing for Carp. Nothing of massive size yet.
Our Catfish tours in Spain are something you must not miss as it is here where you are likely to catch the Big One
We offer you the chance of fishing the river Ebro in Spain for the giant Wels Catfish as a better option to Portugal, as the Catfish fishing is a bit hit and miss in Portugal. This is because the Wels Catfish are not a native fish of the Iberian Peninsular. They were stocked in the river Ebro some twenty years ago and since then they have made their way through the river systems that connect the river Ebro to the rest of the Iberian Peninsular.
Nicely Netted has instigated its own stocking program of Wels Catfish in Portugal in a few secret locations, but at this time we feel that the river Ebro is a better option. We will give anyone interested in Catfish fishing in Portugal, our up to date catch report.
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?
If you are visiting the Algarve in Portugal or Salou in Spain and wish to go on one of our Wels Catfish fishing tours, the costs are from 125 euros per person per day, which includes all baits, tackle and licenses, breakfast, lunch.
Our weekly Wels Catfish Fishing Tours, £525 per person per week, include 7 nights accommodation, licenses, baits and tackle, breakfast and lunch, excluding flights.
