Provide guidance in the footsteps of the great American writer who fished  this river in the 1920s.Only in May and June (Spanish regulations).

About 90 years after the stories of his fishing in the novels "Sun Also Rises", Chapter 11, and in "Summer dangerous" in Chapter 9, I suggest you fish for trout on the magnificent river Irati which has it’s source in France and then flows through the Spanish Navarre.

I propose one day of fishing to discover  these trout of Mediterranean origins which  have a colour very different from those of the Nives rivers system.
