Lago di Levico

Anglers know Lago di Levico as one of the lesser-trafficked lakes of Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, Italy. The standard playbook on a lake this size is to start shallow at first light, work outward toward deeper water as the sun climbs, and circle back to the shallows before dusk. Surface activity at Lago di Levico is a useful tell — boils, swirls, and rising baitfish point straight at the predator zone.

• For Pumpkinseed
