Fly fishing in Tuscany
The Tiber is the most important river in Italy. The river of Aeneas and the river of Rome. That river which for centuries sustained the Roman Empire and later the Renaissance cities, the Papal State. In short, it is the cradle of Italian identity. During this day, you will fly fish it in Tuscany, near its source, where an artificial barrier creates a fantastic tailwater. A stretch of river where the water is calm and the fish feed peacefully during the abundant hatches.
The Val Tiberina is an incredible place for fly fishing in Tuscany, with an ancient flavor. The landscape is amazing, as is the Tuscan culinary culture.
But the fish are no less remarkable. Here, large trout coexist with sizable grayling, creating a technical and varied fishing environment that ranges from dry fly, to emergers, to skating sedges, and modern nymphing techniques.
This is one of those fishing experiences suitable for everyone. From the novice who wants to learn how to approach an Italian river, to the more experienced angler who can enjoy tricking large grayling or trout hunting along the banks.
The Tiber and fly fishing in Tuscany will not disappoint you; it never has. Not for anyone.
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.
Catches & tecnique for fly fishing in Tuscany
The brown trout in the Tiber are known for their size and selective feeding habits. Tiber is also the most southern river where grayling spawn. The Tiber's fertile waters are rich with mayflies and caddis, creating abundant hatches that make for exceptional dry fly fishing.
The optimal season for fly fishing in Tuscany is from June to the end of October when the warmer temperatures provide ideal conditions for active trout and abundant hatches.
The best equipment for this environment is a 9ft rod with a 3-4 WT line, enabling precise, unobtrusive casting in this challenging setting. The browns, known for their selectivity, thrive in this vibrant ecosystem, demanding precision with 7X tippets or finer for surface activity.
