Fly Fishing Italy

Veneto is probably one of the best regions in Italy for flyfishing.
Piave river has an important rule for fishing marble trouts and hybrids. In some pools there are nice graylings too.

In Belluno, there is the possibility to catch with a dry fly trouts bigger than 40cm and with a little skill and luck 50cm of trout are not impossible. In Cortina d'Ampezzo the Boite river contains a good number of own trouts.  

Lakes are good too, in spring and during summer.
The nearby region Alto Adige has a lot of good waters too!

A guide is not always indispensable. You need a guide when you don't know the rivers in which you want to fish, and maybe you don't have the time to find yourself the best stretches.

A guide brings you directly to the best pools, in parts of the river he often only knows. The guide will give you the right fly for that special situation, telling you how to cast and other tricks in order to catch even difficult trouts or graylings.

The guide will not fish, he is there for making his clients fish.

He will advise you to the best technique to use, depending frow water levels, hatches and river morfology. Beeing guided doesn't mean only looking forward to catch fish, it also means to compare our capacities with someone else and maybe to learn something new.

Fly Fishing Italy - Cortina d'Ampezzo is one of the most famous mountain turistic location in the world. For flyfishing too, Cortina gives you a lot of alternatives.

In fact Cortina d'Ampezzo is surrounded by all kind of different waters: Veneto is nowdays the best region for flyfishing in Italy, but Trentino Alto Adige is very good too and it's only 20km from Cortina. Then threre are the austrian waters too, reachable with the car in less than 45 minutes.

Sappada, another beautiful turistic town, lies about 60km east from Cortina. This means just one important thing: the famous slovenian rivers like: Unec, Soca, Sava...etc., are reachable with two hours car driving!
Friuli region with it's beautiful rivers is very near too, and Austria with the valley of the Gail is reachable with aproximatly 90 minutes driving.

Accommodation can be arranged depending on your chosen location. Please submit a booking inquiry above, a package price for fishing and accommodation can be provided.

Fishing season starts in Rienza river the second Sunday of February.
In Veneto the fishing season starts the first Sunday of March. In this period fishing is very good during the warmer hours of the day.

April is excellent for fly fishing and May is good too on the rivers not affected by runoff.

During May and June the slovenian rivers will offer us incredible hatches of insects: Unec, Idrjica and Sava will be at their top!

July and August are warm months and fly fishing in small mountain rivers with fast waters will be a pleausure. In Austria there are different good rivers for this period!

In Veneto the fishing season closes at the last Sunday of September, but there are lots of others rivers in Slovenia, Austria and Trentino Alto Adige, which consent us to have beautiful autumn fly fishing moments. Some rivers are fishable till end of November.
