EXCLUSIVE ITALIAN WATERS
Marble trout, brown trout
March - October
Fly fishing
9 - 10ft , 4 WT
Embark on an unparalleled fishing adventure in Piode, Italy's most exclusive fishing reserve, 1 hour from Milan. In Riserva delle Piode securing a permit is a privilege afforded to few, thanks to its stringent access restrictions. Nestled along 7 kilometers of the pristine River Sesia, flowing from the Monte Rosa, Piode limits its daily anglers to ensure a serene and undisturbed experience.
Your day begins early in the morning, either departing from Milan with your guide or meeting directly at the reserve, and spans the entire day, making full use of the diverse fishing techniques suitable for this perfect habitat.
The reserve's diverse water features, from swift streams to deep pools, enable the use of various angling techniques. Anglers can switch between streamers, dry flies, nymphs, sight fishing, Czech nymphing, and sedge drifting to adapt to the changing conditions throughout the day.
The springtime is particularly magical, with explosive hatches that bring the river to life, offering spectacular dry fly fishing opportunities as the fish surface to feed intensively on the abundant insects.
Catches & tecnique for fishing Sesia river
The Piode reserve is renowned for its impressive marble trout, vibrant brown trout, and distinctive blue fin graylings. Rabbit tail streamers, sedges, peacock emergents, and tungsten head nymphs are effective flies for this location.
For this excursion, guides use 9ft 4/5 WT rods to cast nymphs or small streamers.
The fishing period in Piode stretches from April to October, with peak conditions in April, May, June, September, and October, aligning with springtime hatches and ideal low water levels for dry fly fishing.
