Look up Nick Shattock. Great guide and knows the river like the back of his hand
I've only ever fished with Catmaster, and that was around 15 years ago when Colin Bunn was still involved. It was an incredible experience and certainly worth looking into. That said, my opinion is based on how things were back then. I know the company has changed hands since, so I couldn't comment on what it's like today.
We fished around Mequinenza on the Segre, and those familiar with the area will know spots such as the Blue Bin swim, the Town swim, Suicide Upper and Lower, and the Nature Reserve section. They were fantastic places to fish and produced some memorable sessions.
One thing I'd say is to be careful about the time of year you go. As it's a public river, you need to get to your chosen swim early to secure it, even though the catfish often don't become properly active until dusk. That usually means plenty of time spent sunbathing, relaxing, and enjoying a few drinks while you wait for things to kick off.
We also found the carp fishing from those swims to be relatively straightforward. A single halibut pellet flicked into the margins was often enough to get bites. The carp seemed to hold closer to the bank, presumably to avoid the larger catfish patrolling the deeper water further out in the river.
