About Salvelinus
Experience The Magic of Northern Spain curated by an expert.
Choose Orvis-endorsed accommodations at a Salvelinus Lodge on your fly-fishing adventure in the Spanish Pyrenees. Salvelinus’ program is easily customized to fit your travel plans. For example, you can fish different locations each day in a week, choosing from spring creeks in alpine meadows, larger streams flowing through verdant valleys in the mid and low country, or remote streams and lakes, including helicopter fly-outs to the most unspoiled waters.
World Class Fly Fishing
6 rods / week with the Spain’s top guides at a variety of waters for action & trophy trout

Experts, beginners, and non-anglers can all be accommodated for a well-rounded travel experience; and it’s possible to make this a memorable holiday for companions who don’t fish and prefer to sightsee, explore ancient villages and national parks, or learn more about Spanish culture, including the delights of its food and wine.
This flexibility and expertise makes Salvelinus a unique operation in Europe. Add a trip to Spain or a Mediterranean Cruise to a week in any of these lodges and you will have a once-in-a-lifetime experience for you and your loved ones.
“My philosophy has always been fishing where others cannot reach. Thirty years of scouting gave me enough options to operate two fly-fishing lodges in the Pyrenees, with the first established in 1999. When we noticed our guests’ most precious time was shared among loved ones, we incorporated a full range of customizable experiences at both lodges. We also developed private wine tours in La Rioja or San Sebastian, taking place before or after the visit to the lodges. Finally, I designed, under the seal of secrecy, the Ultimate Pyrenees Tour: an unparalleled multi-destination itinerary to fly fish at its best times and spots from one end of the Pyrenees to the other.”
Ivan Tarin, Founder of SALVELINUS
The Fishing
From UNESCO’s biosphere reserves or preserved National Parks to recondite fly fishing spots, 700 miles of river and 20 lakes within an hour drive from Salvelinus’ Eastern Pyrenees location, Arén Lodge. Truly magnificent valleys between Spain and France set against a setting of rugged alpine wilderness and filled with sparkling waters as clear as glass.
March 1st to November 30th
AREN LODGE
Fly fish a selection of major wild trout rivers and streams of the Pyrenees from Arén; a medieval village from where you can explore a variety of waters for all skill levels, delve into local culture and history, or get carried away by the superb hearty cuisine crafted in the lodge’s 300 years old private restaurant.
Early Spring offers great BWOs. The best Summer fishing is in the highlands. Stable weather in late October and November bring productive nymphing.
