Our Fly Fishing Holiday in Tuscany
An all-inclusive fly fishing journey through the timeless landscapes of Tuscany, where classic dry fly fishing meets the art of slow living. This itinerary unfolds along historic rivers, framed by rolling hills, ancient villages, and a countryside that has inspired travelers for centuries. Between technical fishing, authentic local cuisine, and the gentle rhythm of rural life, Tuscany offers an experience that goes far beyond the water — refined, atmospheric, and deeply rooted in one of Italy’s most iconic regions.
Meeting point
Sansepolcro
In Tuscany, at the foot of the Apennines lies the village that gave birth to Piero della Francesca. Located at the base of the last stretch of the Tuscan Apennines, Sansepolcro overlooks the Valtiberina, which unfolds into a vast amphitheater of mountains. The Sansepolcro area is surrounded by gentle, green hills and expanses of tobacco fields.
Fly Fishing in Tuscany
Fishing focuses on the upper Tiber River, near its source, a legendary stretch known for calm tailwaters holding wild trout and grayling. The experience emphasizes technical dry fly fishing, suitable for both beginners and experienced anglers, set against a backdrop of stunning landscapes and centuries of history.
The optimal fishing season runs from June through the end of October, when warmer temperatures, active trout, and abundant hatches create ideal conditions for dry fly fishing in Tuscany.

FAQ
Are fishing licences included in the price?
Yes. It's one of the most significant daily costs of a fishing trip — which is exactly why we include it in your final quote upfront, so there are no surprises when you arrive.
We handle the purchase for you. You show up, pick up your rod, and fish. If you're planning extra days on the water independently before or after your guided experience, we're happy to help you navigate the process for those too.
What is the minimum duration for this package?
The minimum duration for this package is three nights with two days of fishing. However, you can choose to book just one day of fishing if you prefer on our Wild Brown Trout itinerary in Umbria.
Is this experience private or group-based?
This Rod Society experience is strictly private and we don't do mixed groups. Your itinerary is fully crafted around your specific group and skill level. Whether you are traveling solo or with a large group, you will have dedicated private guides to ensure a seamless, high-touch experience.
What equipment should I use?
The ideal equipment for the Nera River is a 9ft rod with a 4/5wt line, perfect for precise casting and handling the selective brown trout. If you don’t have your own gear, don't worry—our guide can provide you with everything necessary, including rods, reels, lines, waders, boots, flies, and more.
It’s still important to dress appropriately for the outdoors, with waterproof gear, layers for changing temperatures, and UV protection. While we offer high-quality equipment, you are welcome to bring your own preferred gear if you wish.
Why should I book here?
We craft itineraries with trusted local guides to ensure an exceptional experience with top professionals who know the waters inside out. We always include fishing licenses, so you don’t have to deal with any local bureaucracy or paperwork. We also provide top-notch equipment: rods, waders, and flies. We travel a lot too, and we know that sometimes you simply can’t carry five rods, boots, waders and bulky gear with you.
We’ve got your back.
Cancellation Policy
The deposit is non-refundable. If you cancel more than one month before your scheduled experience, you will not owe the remaining balance. If you cancel within one month of the scheduled date, the full price will be charged and no refunds will be issued.
Which airport is the nearest?
The closest airports to this fishing experience are in Rome and Florence, both offering convenient access to the Nera's prime fishing spots. Whether you fly into Rome's Fiumicino or Ciampino airports, or Florence's Peretola airport, you'll be just a short drive away from your fishing adventure.
Do your guides speak English and other languages?
Yes, all our guides are locals and are trained to communicate effectively with an international audience. They are fluent in English and the local language, and many of them speak additional languages to ensure a seamless experience for everyone.
What happens if the weather is unsuitable for fishing?
If our guides determine that the weather or water conditions are unsuitable for fishing, you will receive a full refund. Alternatively, we can reschedule your trip for the soonest available date that works for you.
If you still need support you can contact us anytime!
