Magra

Magra cuts through Liguria, Italy and offers classic river fishing. The local patterns are the universal river patterns: fish the heads of pools at first light, the deep slow water in the middle of the day, and the tail-outs as light fades. Light tackle and a careful drift go a long way at Magra — heavy splashes spook a whole pool.

Fishing Techniques

• For European seabass

  Fish around structure like rocks, piers, and weed beds where seabass hunt, varying retrieve speed and depth until you find what works.

• 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.
