Aniene

Aniene cuts through Lazio, 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 Aniene — heavy splashes spook a whole pool.

Fishing Techniques

• For Northern pike

  Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.

• For Koi carp

  Use a hair rig for boilies or other firm baits to keep the hook exposed and improve hook-up ratios, especially for larger koi.

• For Largemouth bass

  Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.
