Fishing along the Sesia River, the Mastallone, Sermenza, and Egua streams, and in other bodies of water in Valsesia has a long tradition. So much so that on these shores a method of fly fishing typical of this area, the Valsesia fly fishing, has developed, an elegant technique that requires great skill, still practiced today along the Sesia with a simple fixed rod up to four meters long, a horsehair line, and a leader with some essential flies. In Valsesia, you can choose to fish with a touch, using spinning or fly. In some sections, catch-and-release fishing is also possible, where every fish caught is released.

Fans of this wonderful sport also have access to the tourist reserves of Alagna, Scopello and Varallo, where the "La Gavala" reserve is located in Valmaggia, easily accessible even to children and capable of providing guaranteed satisfaction.

There are also various reserves for supporting members only, ensuring tranquility for those who want to get the most out of their river experience. 

In Valsesia, the fishing experience is combined with an extraordinary contact with nature: fishing creates an intimate relationship with the environment around us, often rediscovering a state of deep inner reflection. Moreover, the western side of Alta Valsesia, between 2000 and 3000 meters above sea level, is dotted with wonderful alpine lakes of glacial origin that are home to brown trout and brook char, such as the Lago Nero of Rissuolo, Lago Camino, and the Tailly lakes, nestled in the fascinating Val d'Otro.


The Valsesian Society of Sport Fishermen manages most of the fishing stretches in Valsesia and on the official site, it is possible to find all the information regarding fishing seasons, regulations, and license purchases.
