Tronto

Tronto is a river flowing through Marche, 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 Tronto, 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.

  Gilthead seabream are cautious; use fluorocarbon leader for stealth and reduce visibility.
