Orellana Spanish Gold

Carp Fishing: Carp action in the Spanish winter sunshine at the huge Orellana Lake and one of the best carp I've ever caught!!!!!

[@loiclievre3917]

Steve you are quite unique, I am so impressed how happy you are catching a small common, you have fished the best time 80s to 00s, everywhere and caught everything, and still behaving like a kid in front of the christmas tree in front of any carp. Don't change and thanks for sharing.

[@stevebriggs4638]

Thanks for the kind words 🙂👍🏻 I’m always pleased to catch one 🎣🎣🎣

[@robeden5257]

Well done Steve, always a great watch 👍 ... I fished on there only the once some years ago but although our guide was a nice enough guy and well equipped we found out he was not so good at following the rules and sure enough one morning having been dropped off the day before and left to our own devices we were visited by the Spanish police and found out not only were we not allowed to be what they classed as camping in that area but even being equipped with a bivvy / tent, bedchair etc was enough to be fined, which dully arrived a few weeks after we got back home all €270 each and we blanked 😎😱😎😱

[@stevebriggs4638]

Sounds like it can only get better from that trip then!!!!

[@kierangunn4568]

You probably still think and dream about that Mirror most days, such an amazing fish there wont be many people that would have seen such a beauty! Unfortunately back here in the UK they are being stocked looking like that so they aren't as special anymore but such is life

[@stevebriggs4638]

They are very rare out there too, Edwin actually lives there and it’s only the 4th mirror he saw all year!!

[@timmarshall7903]

Pleased you got that trip in, Steve. Interested in the water temps where you were catching in 10 meters? The Big US lakes I fish still seem to go best at 11-12 ft, (20ft at DH). Perhaps I need to always keep a rod deep and see what happens! Happy New Year to you both.........

[@stevebriggs4638]

Not sure what the water temperature was but we were catching from all depths from 6ft to 40ft it was noticeable that the smaller fish always came from the shallowest water

[@timmarshall7903]

[@TheWhiteWolf523]

Do you know the sierra brava lake? It is a good lake to fish for medium and large carp. I also recommend Lake Horno Tejero, near Orellana, perhaps the most difficult lake to fish carp in Spain, but there are huge carp although carp are very suspicious. greetings and sorry for my English, I am Spanish, I live near Orellana

[@stevebriggs4638]

Yes I know of those lakes hopefully one day I can fish those too!!!

[@ioandobra6546]

I have a question for you how much stronger are this wild carp compared from england carp sorry for my english😂😂😂

[@stevebriggs4638]

They all vary from water to water, the difference is often that wild carp will use up much of their energy on the first run but generally there is not a great deal of difference

Deepest is around 60ft at Cassien, caught them regularly at 40ft to 50ft. 90ft is the deepest I know of them being caught.
