Fishing Techniques

Autumn, the first cold weather, trout in the pond. It would seem like a cliché or perhaps taken from a fishing book. In reality it is a simple consequence of the meteorological change taking place in October, the month in which we enter the heart of autumn. With the closure of the streams, the decrease in the hours of light and the arrival of the first disturbances from the north, which bring cold and rain, all that remains is to leave the rivers and lakes to concentrate the efforts on the...

We are in the midst of summer, of great heat, of long sunny days. The sea water has a warmer temperature and the typical reef prey has resumed its activity. Fish tend to feed, so the appetite and predatory instinct are not lacking. However, the conditions of abnormal heat, the absence of winds and storms and high pressure tend to make fishing for specimens weighing more than a kilo complex, sometimes almost impossible. And it is precisely in this context that the fisherman will have to use...

Pike fishing is one of the fishing techniques most appreciated by fishing enthusiasts, both for the challenge it represents and for the quality of the fish that can be caught. The pike is an aggressive predatory fish , which can be fished in various inland waters, such as lakes, rivers, river mouths and canals. The fishing technique for pike is different from that for other fish, requiring the use of a variety of appropriate fishing tackle to catch it.

At school they have always taught that "the big fish eat the little fish". This is a concept taken from Darwin's evolutionary theories, which can certainly be applied to the discipline of sport fishing. There is one technique, in particular, that puts this theory into practice and that is spinning, both in the freshwater and sea variants.

Bolentino fishing is an extremely popular fishing technique in Italy. It is a dynamic technique that can be practiced at sea from a boat or even from the coast. This technique involves the use of artificial or natural bait and different materials to build our lines. In this article we will see which materials are most suitable for practicing this technique and which are the most used techniques. Furthermore, we will also see which are the best places to practice this technique.

The arrival of the autumn cold brings about several changes in the life cycle of fish. Prey such as carp, which live in lakes and carp fisheries throughout Italy, experience an increase in appetite before entering hibernation. This is an absolutely normal phenomenon, due to the fact that these fish feel the need to store food and nutrients in quantity, before slowing down their metabolism with the cooling of the water. This happens everywhere, both in natural lakes and in small bodies of...

Spring time, ledgering time. Freshwater ledgering fishing starts again at the end of March and the beginning of April. The beautiful days, the general awakening of nature and the end of the hibernation of carp and cyprinids, make this period one of the best of the year to undermine the typical holds of a technique originating in Great Britain.

Winter is now a memory. Summer is at the height of its splendor, with the typical hot days of August. Many will choose the sea for their holidays and, thanks to the good weather, they will certainly try to go fishing. When? Certainly not during the day, because there are many commitments and the crowding of marinas and beaches is notable. Many will do it at night, while their wife and children rest in the hotel, leaving some free time on the sultry August evenings. What does the sea offer in...

Umbria is a region rich in lakes, rivers and the ideal environment for spinning fishing. This fishing technique is based on using a fishing rod with a reel and lures instead of live bait. Spinning fishing is an exciting sport that offers numerous benefits. In Umbria there are numerous places where it is possible to practice it, such as Lake Trasimeno, Lake Bolsena and the Tiber river. If you are looking for a fun and relaxing way to spend your time in Umbria, spinning fishing is a great choice.

Summer is holiday time for many Italians, including fishermen. Many flock to the coasts to spend a week at the seaside, together with their family and, above all, with their rods in tow in the hope of being able to fish. When this happens, the choice of techniques to practice in the marine context is twofold: floating or bottom. As already mentioned in a previous article on our blog, many people practice sea fishing with a fixed rod or with the Bolognese rod, a technique of freshwater origin...

Since the early 2000s, a particular fishing technique has developed in Italy aimed at catching a freshwater fish known not so much for its silent soul, but for the brute force it unleashes in combat. The sturgeon, the protagonist of today's article, was a fish that somewhat revolutionized the Italian sport fishing panorama.

Pond trout fishing is a technique that knows no stops. Fishermen who frequent quarries and sport fishing facilities can practice it in all seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. The trout are always there thanks to the skilful work of the managers who manage to populate the bodies of water even when it is hot (spring temperatures permitting). Instead, it is up to the fisherman to do his best to catch rainbow trout, which tend to change their habits depending on the season, climate and...
