mikechell 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2014 Very pretty. The fly, the fish and the river. I never thought of Italy as a fishing destination, but that river is beautiful. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crackaig 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2014 Italy as a fly fishing destination was a real eye opener for me. I had never considered it until I was invited to tie at a show in Umbria. Amazing rivers, I had my largest ever brown trout from the River Nera. One day I will return. If you get the chance to go there grab it. Also, I hardly need say with the display above, the Italians know a thing or two about fly fishing. Cheers, C. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LuciV 0 Report post Posted November 11, 2014 Thanks guys for your kind words. Crackaig, yes, I'm living here from 2 years and you'll find a lot of fantastic rivers from small and very fast flowing to large and difficult to fish even with 2 hand rods. The Alps mountains are fabulous and the variety of the rivers is incredible, probably you will not find a similar part in Europe like here. cheers, Lucian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wschmitt3 0 Report post Posted November 11, 2014 Nice flies and very nice fish. I tie a similar style pheasant tail with no hot spot and a peacock ice dub or herl collar (depending on mood). I use a piece of pearl krystal flash for the ribbing and it has the same kind of effect. It has been a pretty effective fly at times. I'd post a picture but the only one I have left is pretty raggedy from being fished. Maybe ill tie up a couple today when I sit down at the bench and post a picture. Thanks for sharing its great to see flies, fish and fishing pictures from another part of the world. -Will Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
