Meeting point

Mappa del punto di ritrovo

Madonna di Campiglio

A hidden gem of just 822 residents nestled in the heart of the Adamello Natural Park, this charming village serves as the perfect base for many of our unforgettable fishing adventures in the Dolomites.

Fly Fishing Dolomites

Fishing takes place in the valleys surrounding Madonna di Campiglio, focusing on alpine rivers, creeks, and mountain waters renowned for marble trout and wild brown trout. The experience emphasizes dry fly fishing, complemented by exploratory approaches in varied alpine environments, from fast-flowing streams to calmer high-altitude waters.

The itinerary performs best from May to September, when water levels, insect activity, and weather conditions are most favorable. August can be more challenging due to warmer temperatures and higher tourist presence, but remains feasible depending on conditions.

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 Fish and Hike Itinerary.

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?

For fishing and hiking in the Dolomites, it is best to use rods that are 8/9 feet long and suitable for lines of 3-4 weights, light enough for hiking and capable of casting without spooking fish. 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 select the finest local fishing guides to ensure you have an exceptional experience with top professionals. No need to double-check numerous guides, handle local bureaucracy for fishing licenses, or search for the best fishing spots. Our all-inclusive packages allow you to relax and enjoy your fishing day without any worries. With hassle-free planning, you can focus entirely on your upcoming fishing adventure.

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 nearest airports to your fishing adventure in the Dolomites are Venice Marco Polo Airport (Aeroporto di Venezia Marco Polo) and Verona Villafranca Airport (Aeroporto Valerio Catullo di Verona). Both offer convenient access to the region. The meeting point for the excursion is approximately 90 minutes by car from Venice and a similar distance from Verona.

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 partial 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!
