Fly Casting-Tying Tuition.
If you are a beginner and want to try fly fishing during your holidays in Central Italy…
If you already know how to cast a fly and want to improve or learn how to approach our rivers…
If you have never tied a fly and want to have a start at it…
If you are a proficient tier and want to match the flies we use in our waters…
Tuition takes place by the structure where you’ll spend your holidays so that you can meet the river with sufficient skill and knowledge.
The goal is to prepare you to meet the basics of fly casting and match the various fishing situations you may encounter during your fishing trips.
Casting tuition takes place on the grass, starting on a clear area to understand the basics. Later we move among the trees, to practice how to face the most difficult fishing situations. The next step is on the water to see how the fly actually behaves on the surface. The final phase is on the river/lake, trying to catch your very first fish.
Those who already have casting notions and want to learn how we cope with our rivers (not so big as rivers in the north) with specific casts typical of our waters or improve their knowledge about the physics of casting, will skip the first steps: tuition will take place directly on the water during a normal fishing trip.
Tying sessions start from the very beginning and are addressed to inexpert fly tiers wishing to learn the basics and prepare their own flies for the day after trip. Fly tying addicts may appreciate tying the best flies for our waters.
If you have neither tackle nor tying stuff, these are available on site.

I was born in Milan some half a century ago and after many years spent visiting most rivers and lakes of North Italy, I moved to the Centre – not far from Rome – where I found a real paradise as far as flyfishing is concerned.
I have been fishing since the very green years of my life and have switched to flyfishing in 1977. The dry fly is – like most of us – my favorite but I think that a complete flyangler should have a deep knowledge of all the techniques offered by his tackle (given that the “spirit” of fly angling is not denaturalized). Environment improving and respect are also very important to me.
I have fished most European rivers (Germany, France, Spain, Switzerland, England, Ireland, ex-Yugoslavia, Greece, Romania, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Far East, New Zealand…). As for Italy, there are few rivers I have not visited
I do not consider fishing as a sport but as a style of life, where respect for the fish and environmental nature is at the top of the activity. While respecting other anglers’ points of view, I support catch&release also in free waters.
I have translated quite a number of flyfishing books into Italian and am fond of history and philosophy.
