Fly Fishing Trip or Lodge Details:

We strongly suggest that you consider a few days in each location – Italy, Austria and Slovenia. Waters and fishing conditions change, so the ability to be a little flexible will work to your advantage. Each trip is individually designed to your fishing desires and the best available waters. Streams, rivers and small ponds are available. Most have reservation requirements, special permits, and limited access. The target fish are browns, rainbows, marble, hybrid, brookies and grayling. All in very ample size. Lodging is at small, local pensions or hotels. Breakfast is usually included with the accommodations. Dinner is at a local restaurant.

Season Information

The fishing season starts as early as the second Sunday in February for grayling and trout. So if you want to combine skiing and fly fishing, in Cortina you can do it! In the Veneto region, the fishing season starts the first Sunday of March, and the fishing is very good during the warmer hours of the day. April is excellent for fly fishing and May is good too if the rivers not affected by runoff. During May and June the Slovenian rivers will offer incredible hatches of insects: Unec, Idrjica and Sava will be at their top! July and August are warmer months and fly fishing in small mountain rivers with fast waters will be a perfect. In Austria there are different good rivers for this period!

In the Veneto area, the fishing season closes on the last Sunday of September, but there are other rivers in Slovenia, Austria and Trentino Alto Adige (Italy), which offer beautiful autumn fly fishing moments. Some rivers are fishable until the end of November.
