Thanks everyone. I appreciate the insights and suggestions. I'll continue to look for options and will certainly let folks know what I find in Italy.

Thanks Again,

Dave

Actually, it's called the River Arno. It flows right through the center of Florence, and folks fish for Carp. With bait. Right there in front of God and Everyone. There is a swell little store that caters to the local anglers. Cross the Ponte Veccio and turn right on the first big street, upstream from the bridge. When we were there the selection of fly rods was limited to Fenwicks. The Brag Board has to be seen to be believed...

I'm going to Italy the first week of july and won't be fishing, but my general sense just from reading about the country is that any decent fishing would be further north than you will be.  I'm sure there is the Rome/Tuscany equivalent of 4 mile run (i.e somewhere you wouldn't dream of fishing unless you really didn't have anywhere better to go) but doesn't seem like there is much otherwise that would be worth bringing a flyrod along.

Email some of the IFFF instructors listed under Italy. That should be able to help you.

Hello Everyone,

You'd think my wife wouldn't be surprised after seeing me surf and fish in El Salvador, Costa Rica, and Ireland over the past few years, but she thinks this is a bit of a stretch.

We're headed to Italy in a couple weeks and have been looking for fishing options while traveling. I have a 2 days in Bologna, a few in Florence and most of the trip will be in Rome.

I pinged the guys at Fly Fishing Italy (http://www.flyfishingitaly.com/) and am awaiting a reply, but wondered whether or not some of you know of any other resources to check? 

Thanks & Tight Lines,

Dave
