The season opens on the 1st of April and runs to October 15th.
Spring brings the first great hatches of mayflies and caddis, signalling the start of the season. From early May to June 14th, conditions are at their finest for delicate dry-fly fishing—this is prime time on León’s rivers. From mid-May to mid-July the mountain streams come alive, offering fast, clear waters filled with eager, smaller trout for those fit enough to explore their higher reaches.
Summer stretches long and bright, with spectacular evening hatches and opportunities to combine subtle dry-fly presentations with deeper nymphing techniques. From June 15th to September 15th, flows in the Esla and Porma rivers increase due to irrigation releases from the reservoirs upstream. These rivers remain very fishable, though wading options become more limited and choosing the right beat is essential, this is where our guide’s local knowledge becomes invaluable. During this period, many tributaries and unregulated streams truly come into their own, offering excellent sport in wilder, quieter settings.
By autumn, the rivers run low and clear, and the landscape turns golden. The wading is easier, hatches can still be prodigious, and dry-fly fishing can be exceptional. It’s a time that demands finesse and patience, as each trout becomes more cautious, offering a quiet, reflective close to the season.
Throughout the season, nymph fishing remains consistently effective, providing opportunities even when surface activity slows.
