Meeting point
Milan
Milan, the world capital of fashion and design, is a metropolis in Northern Italy and the capital of Lombardy. Home to the Italian Stock Exchange, it is also a financial hub. The Gothic-style Duomo and the Leonardo da Vinci's fresco "The Last Supper," testify to the city's artistic and cultural heritage.
Tecnique for fly fishing Wels in Italy
Wels catfish are the largest freshwater fish in Europe, distinguished by their scaleless bodies and large mouths equipped with sharp, sandpaper-like teeth.
When targeting wels catfish, especially during their feeding times, it's crucial to use a streamer that matches the size of their current prey species to effectively entice them to strike. For this excursion, guides employ 9ft 10/12 WT rods to cast big streamers and fight these huge predators.
The fishing period on the Po River stretches from April to October.
