Catches & tecnique for fly fishing Po river
Wels catfish are the largest freshwater fish in Europe, distinguished by their scaleless bodies and large mouths equipped with sharp, sandpaper-like teeth.
When targeting wels catfish, especially during their feeding times, it's crucial to use a streamer that matches the size of their current prey species to effectively entice them to strike. For this excursion, guides employ 9ft 10/12 WT rods to cast big streamers and fight these huge predators.
The fishing period on the Po River stretches from April to October.
