I have approximately four weeks available for May and June, so if you are looking for an adventure holiday, go to my website www.sierrabravadreams.com for more details. On the Make Contact page is an availability calender. Decide on dates, and get in touch. All of my March clients had great results, and all have, or are planning to re book. That alone is testament to the fact that they had a great holiday, they left very content, and the lure of the big fish in Sierra Brava is what brings them back. A holiday with me is not just about the size of the fish though. I am with you every step of the way, from start to finish, and apart from the professional guiding, I cook great food, I provide great equipment, and my dog Flash will keep you amused during your stay. Add to that the scenery, sunsets, wildlife, and atmosphere of the big public water, and you have all the ingredients needed for a memorable experience.

My recent bait choice from Vital Baits has reaped the rewards massively, and my simple spomb mix really draws the fish to your spots. The little and often approach does the trick, and combined with simple rigs, and accurate casting, the fishing really is not that difficult.
Playing the fish gently means more carp on the bank, and I teach clients how to deal with the initial power surge from the fish. Using your feet, rather than the reel, ensures you only give the carp a limited amount of distance, and the Sonik SK3 2.75lb/tc rods are beautiful tools for the job. I net fish for clients, right through the night, if need be, and I continuously give advice to make you a better angler, so you leave Spain with more skills and possibly a slightly different approach to your fishing.
Keeping things simple is the key to fishing, and at Sierra Brava the carp are wild. Slack lines aren’t needed, backleads are a no no, and the rods are set high, with baitrunners tight, to minimise the amount of line the carp could possibly take. In May the carp have much more power, as they are lean and hungry, after spawning. Even the smaller carp can strip 20-30 yards of line, so patience and good judgement is required. Be rest assured however, as I will guide you every step of the way, and you will be left holding a carp, smiling for the camera.
Please get in touch if you want one of the best guided fishing holidays on offer.
