Lago di Viverone

Tucked into Piemonte, Italy, Lago di Viverone is a lake that fishes differently season to season. Spring brings fish into the shallows to spawn or feed on early baitfish; midsummer pushes them to cooler, deeper water; autumn turns them aggressive again as they pack on weight before winter. Anglers planning a trip to Lago di Viverone should check water temperature and recent weather — a sudden cold front can shut a lake like this down for a day.

  Use a swimfeeder with groundbait matching your hookbait to create a scent trail.

• For Brown trout

  When fishing streams, focus on seams and current breaks, where trout hold to ambush prey.
