“One moon shines in every lake, in every lake that one moon”

Trout fishing at “Hondón Trucha”, unique in the province of Alicante and the Communidad Valencia.

The artificial fishing lake is situated 15 kilometers from Elche (ELX in the valencian lenguage) and 20 minutes from the Alicante Airport.

The little village of Hondon de las Nieves, since 2006 officialy El Fondo de les Neus, on the foot of the Sierra de Crevillente is the perfect environment for the lake. As it lies 400 meters above sea level, the temperature is approx. 5°C lower than on the coast. In wintertime we even have frost during the night. This means that during most parts of the year trout  fishing in possible. During the summer  the temperature of the water is too high for trout, so we close the fishing season. 

“Hondón Trucha” lies in walking distance from the village and for example on  saturday your partner can visit the local market or buy some wine in our local bodegas while you are fishing. 

For those who want to stay a bit longer, or who  want to visit the valley for a few days during the summer,  we have the arabic JAIMA  (is arabic tent)  available. See  PRICES for more information, and  www.freewebs.com/kampereninspanje/ .

THE  TROUT SEASON is closed till autumn.

Camping in our Jaima is possible during the whole summer.  Info: 636314033

Our lake is approx. 60 x 45 meters, surrounded with artificial grass and easy to reach. Also suitable for disabled anglers.

Refreshments are available from our canteen, but you are welcome to bring your own.

Outside the canteen we have raw marble tables, giving you a beautiful view of the lake and the village in the background.

This is also the barbeque zone when groups make a reservation for the lake.  

Trout fishing is all action. You must entice the fish to bite and this is only possible by searching constantly for the right bait.

Trout fishing with fly, floater  or spinner;  in all  ways you have to remain active.

Trout  fishing is relaxing. Nobody cares what you have or what you are: you are an angler.

On satuday May 3rd was the last fly competition of the season. This time the wind made it very difficult for the participants. The winner of this competition is a new competitor, Mr. Gale,  with a catch of 15 trout.

He received from Marguerite his price:   2 beach  towels and a bottle of brandy.

To those who are not familiar with trout fishing Jan is willing to explain how to do it. Everyone who likes to fish or just wants to have a look, is welcome.
