Fly Fishing in Tuscany and Umbria
Yes, you've got it right. The ultimate fly fishing experience "Under the Tuscan Sun" , in the land of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. In the land of Chianti, Nobile di Montepulciano, and Sassicaia wines! Imagine arriving in a sun drenched valley with blooming sunflowers, corn and tobacco plantations; you’re already feeling the heat of the Tuscan sun and suddenly you find yourself immersed up to your waist in icy cold water, fishing dries to rising trout! After a hard morning fishing, savour a simple wonderful Tuscan meal at a local restaurant. After lunch, it’s back to the river for more rising trout.

The Rivers
Lima and Serchio (Lucca, Tuscany)
Tiber Tailwaters in Sansepolcro (Arezzo, Tuscany)
Nera stream in Borgo Cerreto (Umbria)
The Lima is a wild stream with extremely selective wild browns. Great for a half day fishing. The Serchio is located in the Lucca province of Tuscany. A very challenging river for browns and chub.
A beautiful well managed Catch and Release tailwater with an actively breeding population of Browns. One of the top ten fishing beats in Europe.
A spring creek in western Umbria with C&R regulations. The beautifully clear waters make for excellent sight fishing for the good sized Brownies.
