World-Class Monster Catfish: River Ebro, Spain

This is the River Ebro, renowned worldwide for its giant Wels Catfish. This legendary river holds giants over 200lb and powerful Carp to over 40lb, meaning every bite could be the freshwater fish of a lifetime.

Fishing is fully guided by an expert team who have spent years mastering the Ebro. Ready for all angling abilities your guides will ensure that you’re fishing the best possible spots to give you the highest chance of landing your monster. Kit provided is high quality and designed to tame these river monsters, with lighter setups available if you want to target Carp along the margins.

Days are spent ledgering from the bank, waiting for the scream of bite alarms that signal battle with one of Europe’s true giants. Multiple fish a day is common, and when the rod bends, you’ll know exactly why the Ebro is regarded as the world’s best Catfish river.

Accommodation is in a modern, centrally located hotel in Caspe, just a short drive from the fishing. Choose from comfortable twin rooms up to deluxe suites with four-poster beds, whirlpool baths, and private terraces. Welcomed by warm Spanish hospitality, enjoy free Wi-Fi, a restaurant serving fresh Mediterranean cuisine, and easy access to local bars and restaurants. Lunches are provided on the bank, keeping you fuelled while you fish.

Sportquest handle every detail. You focus on the fish.

If you want to take on the giants of Europe’s greatest freshwater river, Catfishing on the Ebro is your next adventure.

"Hi Paul thanks for all your help with this trip. We have been to Spain before and tried to do it ourselves and this time it felt alot more organised. The host, Paul Booth, helped us rig up every day and put us on fish time after time. My Cat was the biggest of the week at 179LB and Tony said he would try and send some pictures to you as soon as he can.

The accommodation made a lovely change to what else is on offer in Spain and was surprised with Caspe, lots to do in the evenings."

"Hi Sportquest holidays after a little disaster with our flights turning up in Spain late and missing our transfer we soon had things sorted and found ourselves at the hotel you had booked for us. It was more than we were expecting and the staff were very helpful even though it was nearly midnight when we turned up. Paul called us first thing in the morning to make sure we had arrived and arranged what time we wanted to go fishing. The weather was a little cooler than normal which Paul said was making the Cats feed more so every one was very excited about going fishing.

To cut a long story short we all had massive Catfish and a few good Carp so in general the holiday was a great success. Thanks Mel for organising a new transfer for us and tell Peter we will send him some pictures "

"When my husband asked me to organise a fishing holiday to Spain I really did not know what to expect. We have been on the odd days fishing when on holiday before but never a full organised fishing holiday. It all went very well and Paul was a great host making sure not only my husband was being looked after but also myself as I did not tend to fish very much. I tried reeling in one of Johns catfish but had to give up after 10 minutes as I thought it may well pull me in.

A massive thank you to Mel at Sportquest for suggesting Catfishing in Spain.

All our very best, Diane and John"

Accommodation

The Ebro, Spain, is renowned as one of the world’s best destinations for catching the infamous Wels Catfish. These jumbo Catfish reach sizes well over 200lb in weight and offer anglers the chance to see substantial freshwater fish. This holiday is also fully guided, meaning from start to finish you will be in the best possible hands to battle these freshwater leviathans. And now, Sportquest are delighted to be able to offer the accommodation to match — ensuring your fishing adventure is as comfortable as it is unforgettable.

The Hotel

We have often been asked for hotel accommodation here in Spain, and we are pleased to offer this stunning modern hotel complete with a personalised atmosphere. This Hotel provides visiting anglers with the perfect place to rest their heads.

We can offer anglers a range of options, from a standard twin bedroom up to a deluxe four-poster bed, with whirlpool bath, walk-in shower, free minibar, sofa, widescreen TV and terrace. If you wish to ask for an upgrade, please contact us in the office and enquire about costs.

This hotel also has an excellent free WIFI service, meaning that you can contact your relatives, watch films, or even upload your great catch pictures to social media on your downtime. The hotel is located centrally within the town of Caspe, meaning that in the evenings, if you wished to venture out and sample the brilliant Spanish hospitality and culture, you will never have far to travel.

Food & Drink

As this trip is based on a room only basis, you will have the chance to either eat in the hotel itself or venture out into Caspe and sample one of the many pubs or restaurants within this beautiful town. The restaurant in the hotel serves traditional cuisine utilising Mediterranean products sourced from their own vegetable gardens, and quality meats.

The restaurant offers set menus for those who want a healthy diet, and they also have an A la Carte menu still maintaining the basis of traditional products. For breakfast, they serve an all you can eat buffet, and there is also a picnic service for trips outside of the Hotel, excellent for those choosing to go fishing. Dietary requirements can be catered for including vegetarian or vegan menus, and low salt or gluten-free diets. Lunches are provided and come in the form of a packed lunch, to ensure that you are not left hungry while on the bank, and drinks are included whilst fishing. If you are looking for something slightly different from standard accommodation in Spain, this hotel has it all.

World's Best Catfishing River

Have you ever dreamt of battling with one of the most challenging freshwater fish on the planet? Well, now is your chance. Sportquest are proud to offer family fishing holidays on the River Ebro, experiencing Catfishing at its best. Imagine standing on the side of a substantial fast running river holding on to a very angry Catfish, as it tries to get back to its hole. As you can imagine, it is an experience not to miss.

The Catfish in the River Ebro grow to an enormous size, and the fishing area holds beasts over the magic 200lb mark, along with many 100lb Catfish. With anglers often seeing multiple daily catches, this truly is the home to some of the world’s finest freshwater fishing.

Our guides will take great care of you and your family whilst fishing this incredible river, making your days as enjoyable as possible. They are willing to do as much or as little as you wish, and will make your experience as full-on as they can. The guides have been fishing this area for many years, and they know the best spots that these Catfish like to call home. Think you can handle such a fish? Well, there is only one way to find out.

Where is this holiday based?

You will be based in the pretty little town of Caspe, located in the province of Zaragoza, in the west of the country. This area is rich with culture and is famous for its vineyards and beautiful countryside.

When targeting the giant Wels Catfish that inhabit the world-famous River Ebro, you will be fishing in some of Spain’s most renowned river system. The Ebro is well known for its other monster fish, that live amongst these giant Catfish, such as the big Carp that also swim these waters.

On our Youtube Channel, you can find many more freshwater fishing holidays.

How to catch Catfish & Carp

The fishing on the River Ebro is phenomenal, and for the freshwater angler, this is one destination that you simply have to fish. Our fishing areas give anglers the chance to catch some absolute monster fish, reaching over 200lb.

All fishing will be done from the river bank, and your guide will take your rig and bait to areas that are known to hold giant fish. Your guide will help you every step of the way, which in turn will mean that your fishing experience on the Ebro will be the best it can be.

You will be predominantly fishing for bottom-feeding fish, ledgering baits on the bottom, using a specifically designed tackle for this type of fishing. The kit provided for you to use is high-quality. These Cats will find any weak links, so you must be fishing with the best tackle to tame these monsters.

With Catfish exceeding 200lb and Carp over 40lb, this river offers a genuine chance of hooking a monster. When the bite alarms scream off, you never quite know what might be on the end of your line. For those looking to target Carp specifically, the guides can provide lighter setups, all you need to do is fish the margins.

Ebro Catfishing Guides

The fishing guides on this fantastic Catfishing holiday have been fishing here for many years, and are experienced with a range of angling abilities. Paul Booth and his team will take great care of you and ensure you are fishing the best possible spots. Having the best guides ensures that you have the highest chance of catching the fish you have travelled here to target. These guides will be on hand to answer any questions you may have, ensuring your holiday goes as smoothly as possible.

Hello Terry July is renowned for high temperatures but normally the Catfish feed first light and last light but guess they just did want to feed at all. Good to hear it picked up for you guys and would really appreciate some pics when you have time.

Hi Sportquest holidays after a little disaster with our flights turning up in Spain late and missing our transfer we soon had things sorted and found ourselves at the hotel you had booked for us. It was more than we were expecting and the staff were very helpful even though it was nearly midnight when we turned up. Paul called us first thing in the morning to make sure we had arrived and arranged what time we wanted to go fishing. The weather was a little cooler than normal which Paul said was making the Cats feed more so every one was very excited about going fishing.

To cut a long story short we all had massive Catfish and a few good Carp so in general the holiday was a great success. Thanks Mel for organising a new transfer for us and tell Peter we will send him some pictures

Response from Sportquest Holidays

Hello Barry what a shame your holiday started in that way but unfortunately we can not control flights but at least things were sorted and you managed to arrive the same day (just)

We did hear that the Catfish were feeding well and thought you guys would have a good trip. Thank you for taking the time to fill out your feedback form and will tell Peter to look out for your pictures.

Hopefully we will catch up soon

Gary

Wow it was hot high 30's every day. the fishing was a little slow we had cats from 50LB to 110LB. Paul was a great guide and kept us entertained on the slow days

Response from Sportquest Holidays

Hello Gary, wow it sounded hot. Like us the cats do not feel like doing much when its that hot. Still by the sounds of it you caught a few fish and can not wait to see the pictures of Wayne swimming in that stream you were talking about..... We will try and get you out of the hotter months next year.

Speak soon

Diane

When my husband asked me to organise a fishing holiday to Spain I really did not know what to expect. We have been on the odd days fishing when on holiday before but never a full organised fishing holiday. It all went very well and Paul was a great host making sure not only my husband was being looked after but also myself as I did not tend to fish very much. I tried reeling in one of Johns catfish but had to give up after 10 minutes as I thought it may well pull me in.

A massive thank you to Mel at Sportquest for suggesting Catfishing in Spain.

All our very best, Diane and John

Response from Sportquest Holidays

Yes Paul the host is very good he always gets a glowing report. I shall email him your very kind words and hopefully you will choose to use Sportquest in the future

All my best, Mel

FAQ

Catfishing Holidays River Ebro are based in Caspe, in the province of Zaragoza, northern Spain. The fishing is centred on the world-famous River Ebro, a vast, fast-flowing river renowned for producing some of the largest Wels Catfish on the planet.
The Wels Catfish of the River Ebro regularly exceed 100lb, with many fish topping 200lb each season. These freshwater giants are immensely powerful, offering anglers epic battles from the bank.
Alongside the enormous Catfish, anglers can also target Common Carp and Mirror Carp that reach weights of 50lb or more. Many guests choose to spend part of their trip switching between both species for varied sport.
All fishing is carried out from the riverbank using strong bottom-fishing rigs and heavy-duty tackle to handle these powerful fish. Your guide will take baits out by boat and position them precisely over known hotspots to maximise your chances of success.
Guiding is led by Paul Booth and his expert local team, who have decades of experience fishing the Ebro. They know every productive stretch and will assist with baiting, rig placement, and fish care throughout your stay.
The Ebro Catfish season runs year-round, but the prime months are May to October, when water temperatures are higher and the big Catfish feed aggressively. Carp fishing is also excellent during this period.
Anglers stay in a modern hotel in Caspe, centrally located and ideal for both comfort and convenience. Rooms are twin-based with options to upgrade to deluxe suites featuring whirlpool baths, walk-in showers, and private terraces.
The trip is room-only, allowing flexibility to eat in the hotel restaurant or sample local cuisine in Caspe. The hotel serves traditional Mediterranean dishes and offers packed lunches for fishing days, with special diets catered for upon request.
The Caspe hotel provides free Wi-Fi, air-conditioned rooms, and an on-site restaurant and bar. Located close to town amenities, guests can easily explore local cafés, shops, and bars after a day’s fishing.
Absolutely. These fully guided Catfishing holidays are perfect for anglers of all abilities, including families. The guides handle all technical aspects, letting guests simply relax and enjoy the thrill of catching monster fish in Spain’s most famous river.
