Fishing
an elegant technique, but requiring great skill
Fishing along the river Sesia and in the other water bodies of Valsesia has a long tradition. So much so that a typical fly fishing method has developed on these banks, the valsesian fly fishing, an elegant technique but requiring great skill, still practiced today along the Sesia with a simple fixed rod up to four meters long, a horsehair braided line, and a leader with some essential flies. In Valsesia you can choose whether to fish by touch, to spin or fly fishing. In some stretches, it is also possible to do no-kill fishing, which involves releasing every caught fish.

Fans of this wonderful sport also have access to the tourist reserves of Piode, Alagna, Scopello, and Varallo: they are easily accessible even for children and can provide guaranteed satisfaction. In Valsesia, the experience of fishing is combined with extraordinary contact with nature: fishing creates an intimate relationship with the surrounding environment, often rediscovering a state of deep inner reflection. Furthermore, the western slope of Alta Valsesia, between 2,000 and 3,000 meters above sea level, is dotted with wonderful glacial alpine lakes that are home to brown trout and brook trout, such as the Lago Nero del Rissuolo, Lago Camino, and the Tailly lakes, nestled in the enchanting Val d'Otro.
The Valsesian Society of Sports Fishers manages most of the fishing stretches in Valsesia, and on the official website, you can find all the information regarding fishing seasons, regulations, and license purchases.
