Fiume Alcantara

As a river in Sicilia, Italy, Fiume Alcantara fishes best when the flow is steady and the water is clear enough to see a foot or two down. Anglers who do well at Fiume Alcantara pay attention to small things: the angle of the current, the colour of the water, what's hatching, where the wading birds are working. Fly anglers can match local insect activity; spin anglers can run small spinners or soft plastics through the same lies.

Fishing Techniques

• For Turbot

  Turbot often lie on the seabed, so fish your bait or lure close to the bottom.

• For Common seabream

  When fishing around reefs, use a slightly heavier line to avoid break-offs and consider using a wire leader if toothy fish are present.

• For Common sole

  Sole are bottom feeders, so always fish your bait or lure close to the seabed, and a very slow retrieve or static presentation often works best.
