Catches & tecnique for grayling in Valtellina
Known for their beauty and distinctive sail-like dorsal fin, grayling are not only a visual delight but also a rewarding challenge for anglers, with many specimens exceeding 45 cm in Valtellina’s waters.
During our excursion, we'll focus on nymphs and dry flies. Valtellina is one of Italy's premier grayling fishing destinations, offering anglers a unique opportunity to target this species.
