Fly fishing marble trout in the Dolomites
Marble trout are among the largest trout species in the world, with the biggest ever caught weighing 25 kg. These elusive predators are found exclusively in the Alpine region, nowhere else on the planet.
Our fishing in Trentino itinerary takes you to one of the best rivers in the Dolomites, downstream of Lake Santa Giustina, where deep canyons, dense vegetation, and large pools create the perfect fishing areas for these legendary fish.
But beyond chasing the Alps' apex aquatic predator, you’ll be immersed in prehistoric landscapes, surrounded by raw nature, crystal-clear waters, and the chance to enjoy a riverside meal featuring local flavors.
In short, this is a day where adventure, trophy fish, and untamed wilderness come together, offering one of Southern Europe’s best fishing experiences.
Meeting point
Lake Santa Giustina
Lake Santa Giustina is a monument to the power of water, that for thousands of years slowly dug along the Noce river picturesque canyons much loved by canoeists, and that now, harnessed, produces electricity thanks to the imposing dam, forming the largest artificial lake in Trentino.
Catches & Tecnique for Fishing in the Dolomites
When fishing in Trentino, you can find brown trout, hybrids, and grayling, but the marble trout is the true star. Here, large predators lie in wait for their prey, lurking in deep pools or behind massive boulders. The goal is to seek out these marble trout, as this is one of the few places in the Alps, and nowhere else in the world, where you have the chance to catch them.
For the best results, Euronymphing with a 10' #3 rod and heavy tungsten nymphs (2-4.5mm) is ideal for reaching deep pools. Streamer fishing with a 9' #5 or #6 rod and a semi-sinking line is highly effective for targeting aggressive fish. Dry fly fishing works in select conditions, but for small tributaries, a 7'6" #3 rod allows for precision in tight quarters.
