Micro documentaries on fishing
Fishing in a small mountain lake has its "grace," not in its humorous sense but in its more transcendent aspect, the one that fisherman Norman Maclean spoke of in "A River Runs Through It." The writer's father, a skilled angler but also a Presbyterian pastor, associated fishing luck with that "grace" which is God's favor, … Continue reading Fishing in the Laguna de las Yeguas
Spring shines green and watery in this small corner that then flows into the Cabrera. Small mountain trout and wolves up there or here beside us, watching us, invisible. The future of many Spanish rivers is uncertain, but today's present, in good company, maintains its minimal and fragile abundance of those few places for serenity … Continue reading Fishing with Juan Delibes
From the heritage of Castro tribes that sculpt the landscape by adapting to the rugged morphology of the coastline. In the region of Tierra de Soneira on the Costa da Morte, in Camariñas, cockle gatherers work today in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Wind, cold, rain, sun, and rain again. A spontaneous blue stage … Continue reading Cockle gatherers of Camariñas
Crossing the ravines, searching for a path among the already bloomed brooms, stepping on quartz stones and the ancient hoof marks of wild boars. The enormous flood of December is clearly visible on the shore. He remembers the precise steps based on the shape of a rocky outcrop or a distant tree protruding from the … Continue reading Gift
In some of them, there are shadows of forests of tree ferns, winged dinosaurs, armored fish, and climates that did not touch us. What rivers, tumults, and drags were stacking these sands, muds, and sediments. What forces took them to the bottom. How many millions of years did they make them and then put them … Continue reading Chalkboards and Zander
He walks on the water, explores the deep, inquires and wonders with each silk cast and when the fly lands on the current. The young fisherman dares to explore new weathers, small rivers trapped in canyons where only the path of deer and otters, wolves and deer, instinct and desire to discover the world can … Continue reading Young fisherman
At times, the emptying of reservoirs reveals submerged towns, the remains of rural shipwrecks in the form of ruined mansions, mills, fulling mills, bridges, or drowned forests. However, that deceptive drought, that threatening emptiness, shows us the river that was, with gentle or tumultuous currents, clear waters, and curious fish. In that brief space between … Continue reading River mirage
In the seventies of the twentieth century, the German tourist Roland Lorkowsky brought thirty-two Danube catfish fry in a jug, which he later released into the mouth of the Segre River so that they "could grow and multiply" in the reservoirs of Mequinenza and Ribarroja. Before him, the nature protection service ICONA had released all … Continue reading Small Silurus
Dawn breaks and a faint light carves a palette of blue, mauve, violet, and reddish colors in the sky. A faint murmur of water can be heard in the distance. We are completely in the dark, but even without light and with our eyes closed, we could perfectly describe everything around us. We breathe. The … Continue reading Salmon of Figal
They are simple arts although today the instruments and equipment may seem sophisticated. Walking upstream through the water, making a feather fly with patience and a handcrafted fly, breathing the fresh air of the riverbank and catching a fish. We create no melody, painting, sculpture, poetry, or drama, nor are we inspired by Calíope, Clío, … Continue reading River Arts!
