  War in Spain
In the interval between the 16th and 20th of May, the 114th regiment and the lst of the Vistula, set out from Fraga and Torriente for the purpose of investing Mequinenza : general Musnier was appointed to command the forces and to direct the siege.
The little town of Mequinenza, which is shut in between the rocky foot of this ridge and the bank of the river, forms a kind of port on the Ebro, which is no longer navigable at Saragossa or above that town, and only begins to be so when joined by the Segre and the Cinca.
Thus Mequinenza, without being in any of the lines of land communication, forms the key of the Ebro as far as Tortosa and the sea.

We expected the fishing to be similar to that in Mequinenza, heavy rods, usually around 8lb test curve with big deep-sea multipliers, thick braid and fishing with the rods in the air.
