Torrente Giona

Torrente Giona is a river flowing through Lombardia, Italy. River fishing rewards anglers who learn to read current — fish hold in the seams between fast and slow water, behind rocks and submerged logs, and at the heads and tails of pools. At Torrente Giona, working a lure or fly down-and-across the current usually outperforms casting straight upstream. Higher water concentrates fish; clear, low water makes them spookier.

Fishing Techniques

• For Common bleak

  Use light tackle and a very small hook (size 18-22) with fine line for better presentation and more bites, especially when fishing for bleak.

• For European eel

  Eels are often most active at night or during periods of low light, so target these times for the best results, especially around structures.

• For Rainbow trout

  Vary your retrieve speed when using spinners to find what triggers a strike; sometimes a slow, steady retrieve works best, while other times a faster, erratic retrieve is more effective.
