Fly Fishing on the Fiume Adda

The upper reaches of the Adda River, particularly in the Valdidentro area near Bormio, offer excellent opportunities for fly fishing in a pristine alpine environment. Anglers can find healthy populations of trout (brown trout, marble trout, rainbow trout) and grayling in crystal-clear mountain waters. Specific fishing zones (No Kill, Catch & Release) are designated to preserve fish stocks. A valid Italian fishing license and a daily/weekly permit for the specific fishing reserve are required, obtainable from local sports shops or authorized tourist offices (not the main Bormio Tourist Office, as it's excluded, but specific fishing associations). Permits typically cost around €20-€30 per day. The season generally runs from spring to autumn (March/April to October/November), depending on water levels and snowmelt. It's a tranquil and rewarding outdoor sport for nature lovers.
