I do believe Franco was a keen salmon angler.

Many years ago I read a book about salmon fishing in Spain, but it's that long ago I cant remember the name of it but an excellent book on the subject,( Memory Eh?) Derek Roxborough

I have seen photos of him with the salmon he caught.
He also introduced Black Bass (American large-mouthed bass) to the reservoirs to bring sport fishing to the public

Yip, there was an interesting article about him a good few years back, possibly in Trout and Salmon. You can say a lot about fascism...but at least they fished lol
