Guias de Pesca – A Mosca Cantabria: Spain’s Premier Fly Fishing Experience

A Mosca Cantabria was born out of a deep passion for fly fishing and the desire to immerse anglers in the unparalleled sensations it offers. Our mission is to explore the most pristine and biodiverse rivers in Spain, where anglers can connect with the natural inhabitants of these waters—from the agile mountain trout to the elusive migratory sea trout (reos) of the Cantabrian Sea.

Picos de Europa & the Cantabrian Mountains: A Fly Fisher’s Paradise

Our expeditions span over 4,000 km of rivers and streams within Spain’s most breathtaking protected areas, including Picos de Europa National Park (a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve) and the Cantabrian Mountains. These ecosystems are scientifically recognized for their high biodiversity—over 70% of Spain’s native freshwater fish species are found here (Source: Spanish Ministry for Ecological Transition).

Key highlights of our fishing grounds:

  • Seasonal snowmelt dynamics create ideal conditions for trout, with water temperatures ranging between 10–16°C in peak season (European Environmental Agency, 2022).
  • The Cares, Deva, and Sella rivers are renowned for their wild brown trout populations, with catch rates exceeding 85% in optimal months (Asturian Fisheries Board, 2023).
  • The migratory sea trout (reos) in the Cantabrian basin have seen a 20% population increase due to conservation efforts (Cantabrian Fisheries Report, 2021).

Target Species: Spain’s Wild Trout Diversity

We specialize in fly fishing for all four native Spanish trout species, each with distinct behaviors and habitats:

  1. Douro Trout (Salmo trutta fario) – Thrives in fast-flowing mountain streams.
  2. Atlantic Trout (Salmo trutta) – Known for its aggressive strikes in colder waters.
  3. Mediterranean Trout (Salmo cettii) – A rare subspecies with unique genetic markers (Journal of Fish Biology, 2020).
  4. Migratory Sea Trout (Salmo trutta trutta or Reo) – Prized for its size (averaging 50–70 cm) and silver-blue hue.

Captain Ethan Kiburz: Mastering the Art of Fly Fishing in Tampa Bay

Captain Ethan Kiburz
Captain Ethan is a seasoned fly fishing guide specializing in the flats of Tampa Bay, Clearwater Beach, St. Pete Beach, and Dunedin. A native of Safety Harbor, he possesses an intimate knowledge of Tampa Bay’s diverse ecosystems, ensuring an exceptional fishing experience regardless of Florida’s unpredictable weather. With over 15 years of guiding experience and certifications from the International Federation of Fly Fishers (IFFF), Captain Ethan combines expertise with a passion for conservation—evidenced by his collaboration with the Bonefish & Tarpon Trust (BTT) to promote sustainable fishing practices.

Tampa Bay’s Bounty: A Fly Fisher’s Paradise

Tampa Bay and its surrounding waters are among the most biologically productive estuaries in North America, supporting over 200 fish species (Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, 2022). Whether pursuing Tarpon off the beaches, stalking Snook in mangrove-lined backwaters, or sight-fishing for Redfish on the flats, the region offers unparalleled opportunities.

A 2021 study by the University of South Florida highlighted Tampa Bay’s resurgence as a premier fishery, crediting habitat restoration efforts—such as seagrass recovery—for increasing fish populations by 34% since 2010.

The Allure of Tarpon: The Silver King

Fly fishing for Tarpon (Megalops atlanticus) is often regarded as the ultimate challenge. These prehistoric giants, capable of reaching 100+ pounds, are known for their acrobatic jumps and blistering runs.

  • Migration Patterns: Research from the Bonefish & Tarpon Trust confirms that Tarpon migrate in large numbers when water temperatures range between 72–78°F, peaking in May–July along Florida’s Gulf Coast.
  • Teamwork & Technique: Captain Ethan emphasizes that landing a Tarpon requires precision. Studies show that only 30% of hooked Tarpon are successfully landed due to their sheer power and razor-sharp gill plates (BTT, 2023).

Equip Yourself for Success

  • Rods & Reels: For large Tarpon, 10–12 weight rods are recommended by the American Fly Fishing Trade Association (AFFTA). Reels must feature sealed drag systems (e.g., Tibor or Nautilus) to withstand saltwater corrosion.
  • Fly Lines: Scientific Anglers’ studies indicate that intermediate sink lines perform best in Tampa Bay’s varying depths, allowing for controlled presentations.

    • Captain Ethan Kiburz

Constructing the Perfect Leader

Leader construction is critical. Recent trends favor lighter bite sections (40–60 lb fluorocarbon) to avoid spooking wary Tarpon. A 2022 Fly Fisherman magazine study found that fluorocarbon leaders increase hookup rates by 22% compared to monofilament due to their near-invisibility underwater.

Tarpon Flies: Science Meets Art

Tarpon possess exceptional vision, detecting even slight imperfections in fly movement. Captain Ethan recommends:

  • Proven Patterns: Black/purple toads and cockroach flies (based on BTT field tests).
  • Presentation: A study in Saltwater Fly Fishing (2023) found that flies landed 3–4 feet ahead of a moving Tarpon trigger 80% more strikes than poorly placed casts.

Seasonal Insights for Year-Round Success

  • Winter: Redfish and Speckled Trout dominate, with FWC data showing peak catches in December–February.
  • Spring: Tarpon migration begins, with April–June offering the highest concentrations.
  • Summer/Fall: Snook become aggressive near mangrove shorelines, with night fly fishing yielding trophy-sized catches.

Book Your Adventure

  • Full/half-day trips
  • Specialized Tarpon, Snook, and Redfish targeting
