Depends where you go on the top lake.
Caspe & Chipriana can fish really slow at the moment , I have heard of some people going over a week without a fish!! Most of the fish seem to be coming out above Chipriana, but you may have to wait a few days for the fish to arrive as they seem to be moving up ^ down the river in shoals. Pellet seems to be tailing off with most bites being small drop backs so you need to be watching the rods all the time. Am off up there on Thursday for a few days do will let you know when i get back how its fishing |

Cheers for the info Dave. I'm fishing Saturday, Sunday and hopefully Monday morning. Sounds like it could be a struggle though unless we fall onto fish.
Its caspe we're fishing by the way.

Just got back and the place is up and down, The segre at Mequia is fishing slow although my mate managed a 176. the top lake in both area's fished slow at
the start but then we managed a day with 2 over 100 and 3 over 40. Another group did 54 fish in the day then had nothing after that. The Cats seemed to be
preoccupied by the sheer amount of bleak that are present.

Big surprise for Mark coming up, I've just rediscovered the word of our lord and saviour, Amen.
Anybody interested in some slightly used wine glasses, fags, 18yr old (at a pinch) Romanian LADIES, sorry but the lightly soiled leisure mags to stay. Praise the lord, Davey (former atheist).

hiya muppet .as regards how the fishing went for me ,well ,dont ask .
,it was a disaster from start to finish ,nothing went right mate ,lack of planning and simply never had much time fishing .the fishing is very patchy out there
anyway. i feel pellet isnt the way forward anymore, the fish have become very finicky , dont get me wrong it does still produces fish ,but not like it used
to ,plus its way over priced now at 60 euro a sack undrilled or 70 euro drilled ,a bloody rip off . the segre at meq is a little more consistant, but the swims
hard to get on, as most are taken up by long-stay anglers or the guided companies .a boat is essential now ,but your only allowed a short way up the river ,the
cables just below the vietnam swim marks the boundry your not supposed to take a boat and engine past ,live bait is banned also , its a bit of a pain in my
eyes with so many laws that have been introduced over the last few years ,i wont be in much of a rush to get back there .atb mate .

A lot more fish are coming out on squid these days. certainly between Caspe and Meq anyway.

totaly agree dave .a lot of fish are being taken on pellet/squid kebab baits and hair rigged squid ,the only problem is you cant pre-bait with squid due to its
buoyency ,it basically gets washed away ,so getting the cats switched on to it as apposed to baits like pellet is allways going to be harder. but the thinking
anglers out there will come up with a bait solution soon .atb mate .

Had a 4 day trip with Catfish Capers at the beginning of October. Fished 3 different swims over the four days and they all produced fish to pellet and bleak -
€50 a sack for drilled pellets and we got through 2+ bags a day.
Between the two of us we probably had 40 fish (Our best day was 21 fish) and had quite a number of 'ton-ups' The best two fish went 153 and 164. |

hiya guy .top result mate . i shuda gone with you guys .
.interesting
you mentioned the bleak , how were you presenting them as bait ? i was told that it was a wives tale that the cats were onto the bleak by my hoast ,but i cud
see they were hitting them at mequinenza on the ebro and segre ,suggested drifting float fished big shoal rigs ,on large hairs [20 + bleak at a time ],but
never got to try them .i suppose fishing them kebab style with the pellet may have worked also ,just as a different approach ,glad you had a good trip mate
.next time out there , im guna stick to my own instinct .may have paid off looking back now .atb .
