Italy

The Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage site located in northeastern Italy, are not only known for their dramatic peaks and breathtaking alpine scenery but also offering some of the best fly fishing opportunities in the country. The region is home to a variety of rivers, streams, and mountain lakes with clear, cold waters that are teeming with brown, rainbow, brook and even marble trout making the Dolomites a must-visit destination for anglers seeking a natural escape and a thrilling fishing trip. The best time to fly fish in Italy depends on the region, but generally, the prime season would be during the warmer months, from spring (April to June) through early autumn (September to October). Spring offers excellent hatches, especially for mayflies and caddis, while the cooler summer temperatures at higher altitudes keep the water cool and ideal for fishing. In the autumn, the crisp air and golden foliage create an unforgettable backdrop for a day of fishing. Whether you're casting in a quiet mountain stream or a pristine lake, the Dolomites provide an unforgettable fishing experience surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery in Italy.
