Andrea Carando

Fly fishing is at the absolute heart of what we do. While we cover every aspect of the discipline, our true signature is streamer fishing for trophy Marble Trout (Salmo marmoratus). Hunting the legendary apex predator of our waters requires strategy, endurance, and precise presentation. We guide you through casting heavy streamers into deep pools, reading the current, and triggering explosive strikes from large, wild Marble Trout.

Dry-Fly Fishing For lovers of visual and classic fly fishing, nothing beats the excitement of a wild trout breaking the surface. We target active feeding lanes during peak insect hatches, helping you master delicate presentations, micro-drag management, and pattern selection to fool wary trout and grayling in crystal-clear alpine waters. Spinning Fishing For those who prefer light or heavy lure techniques, our spinning sessions offer fast-paced action and high precision. Using specialized hardware, hard baits, and soft lures, we target aggressive river predators along undercut banks, deep pockets, and turbulent rapids.

For Seasoned Anglers: We skip the basics and take you straight to prime, technical beats.
