The Rialb reservoir and fishing
As mentioned above, the Rialb reservoir is practically new to the sport of fishing. This young reservoir has an extension of more than 400 cubic hectares, measuring 4 times more than the Oliana reservoir. Rialb was inaugurated for fishing in 2000, but did not reach its peak until 2010.
It was that year when the limits concerning fishing were designated, to protect the space and give this habitat time to see how it developed. At the moment, the possibilities offered by the reservoir are quite large and the prospect is that it will provide the fish population for many years to come.
The main feed for the reservoir comes from the Rialb River, a tributary of the Segre. These rivers offer a wide riverbed in which good numbers of trout are found and well oxygenated water of good quality. This makes it not only useful for fishing, but also has a very unique beauty.
