Lake Orellana<\/b><\/h2>\n

Lake Orellana<\/b>\u00a0is\u00a0Spain<\/b>\u00a0and one of Europe\u2019s premier specimen\u00a0Carp fishing venues<\/b>. It is located in the\u00a0Extremadura<\/b>\u00a0region of\u00a0Spain<\/b>\u00a0and was created from the damming of Spain\u2019s fifth largest river. The river was dammed in the 1960\u2019s which has created a myriad of lakes and river sections.\u00a0Lake Orellana<\/b>\u00a0at over 5000 hectares is one of the largest and the most famous of these. This lake has a mystical atmosphere that gets under the skin of anyone who has fished here. Set as it is in an outstanding natural environment, this is every\u00a0carp anglers dream location<\/b>.\u00a0Catch Carp Spain<\/b>\u00a0has spent the last two decades researching this unbelievable body of water to find the\u00a0best fishing locations<\/b>\u00a0for our clients to enjoy.<\/p>\n

Lake Orellana<\/b>\u00a0was stocked when first created in the 60s and has never been stocked since. The fish are a wild indigenous hard fighting strain of\u00a0carp<\/b>\u00a0which have grown to massive sizes which makes for an unforgettable\u00a0carp fishing experience<\/b>. Due to the fantastic water quality and abundance of natural food i.e. crayfish, there is a plentiful head of\u00a0monster carp<\/b>\u00a0in this water system.\u00a0Catch Carp Spain<\/b>\u00a0clients regularly\u00a0catch fish over 40lb<\/b>\u00a0and more and more fish in recent years are being caught up to and over 70lbs<\/b>. The majority of these carp have never seen a hook before and fight incredibly hard all the way to the net.[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”1289,1291,1292,1293,1294″ img_size=”220″ css=””][vc_column_text css=””]Although access has historically been difficult from 2013 onwards two thirds of the lake has been opened up to boats.\u00a0Catch Carp Spain<\/b>\u00a0is able to take advantage of this having recently acquired a 6m landing craft. We can now access all of the\u00a0best fishing spots<\/b>\u00a0on the lake.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the climate we have here in\u00a0Spain<\/b>\u00a0it is possible to fish all year round though we do close for July and August due to the heat. Come and spend some time on the bank with us and see for yourself what a\u00a0carp angling adventure<\/b>\u00a0you can have on\u00a0Lake Orellana<\/b>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=”20″ _et_uniqid=”et_custom_uniqid_new_68dba0c7c5918″ css=”.vc_custom_1759224020430{margin-bottom: 4vh !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1759211432655{border-top-width: 1px !important;border-right-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-left-width: 1px !important;background-color: #E5E5E5 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;border-radius: 10px !important;border-color: #908D8D !important;}” _et_uniqid=”et_custom_uniqid_new_68db6f9fe54ef”][vc_custom_heading text=”Premium Catch Carp Spain\u00a9<\/sup>
