The biggest fish he has caught were with the worm and the feather (fly?).He has also fished with a net, with his hand and with a “tertula”. What is a “tertula”? It should be set at night and taken up at night.There are also fish for big nets, of three layers. That is prohibited. The night should be dark, without moonlight, so that they cannot be seen.White clothes must never be worn; only dark clothes. The size of the nets. They should be set in the river rather loose. They should be taken up early the next morning before sunrise. He has also fished by hand. The fish have become smaller and there are less of them, especially in Aldudes. Before, the barriers of the mills were made of wood and the fish could lie there easily. Now they are made of stone. Also the fish must go to the streams to spawn and now there are no streams.
