Discover the brown trout and marble trout in the Avisio river and the Travignolo stream, and the Alpine char in the cold waters of the mountain lakes.
In Val di Fiemme, in the Dolomites of Trentino, fly fishing lovers can practise their favourite hobby in kilometres of streams and in the many mountain lakes. Here they can admire the brown trout and the marble trout or the Arctic chars. Clean waters can be found in the dolomitic mountain group of Latemar and in the wild mountain chain of Lagorai, in the “Magnifica Comunità di Fiemme” area.
The stream Avisio is the cuddle of marble trout
The marble trout is the “queen” of the impetuous waters of the bottom of the valley. The stream Avisio, that is constantly changing features and flow, is considered a first-category water stream. Here they introduce the marble trout fry coming only from the ichtyogenic plant of the association of the valley. It’s frequent that, during a nymphing fishing, you can chance upon some trout that weigh some kilos.
Fly fishing in the canyons of Travignolo stream
At the borders of the Natural Park of Paneveggio Pale di San Martino the crystal-clear water flows on a porphyry riverbed. When you want to fish a brown trout there, it’s like living a real fishing adventure in the “canyon”. This tributary is perfect for dry fly fishing, it flows along the limits of the Forests of Violins and the deer reservation. The roar of its waters amaze when you walk on the two suspension bridges (in Paneveggio and Sotto Sassa)
Water streams and mountain lakes
Forests, rock and water. The Lagorai mountain chain, the wild group of porphyry mountains that limit the south side of Val di Fiemme, offer the fishermen a mass of rivers and mountain lakes in a great natural environment where the brown trout and the Arctic char live.
Reservoir
The Fortebuso (Paneveggio-Predazzo) reservoir is an ideal place to spend some restful days fishing, surrounded by forests of spruces and dolomitic massive mountains.

The Avisio stream in Val di Cembra
The section of the Avisio stream that flows through the Cembra Valley is both intermediate and final. In the areas of Cembra and Segonzano, it is not uncommon to encounter strains of brown and marbled trout, both wild and released, with specimens ranging from 25 to 50 centimeters; sometimes, they even reach more than 60 centimeters. Further downstream, toward Lavis, the Avisio changes its character and loses the impetuosity of the upper stretch. The waters flow more slowly, so in addition to trout, it is easy to spot chub and barbel.
Regulations for fishing on the Avisio
The waters of the Avisio stream in the Cembra Valley are managed by the Trento APDT (from the Stramentizzo dam downstream). There are several areas where you can go fishing: the easiest to spot are C2, CP3, CP4 and Ex-Reserve San Giorgio. The season opens on the first Sunday in February (excluding C2, which opens on the first Sunday in March) and ends on September 30. However, in recent years, the CP4 and Ex-Reserve San Giorgio stretches have extended fishing until October 31, granting an attractive opportunity to all spinning and fly fishing enthusiasts.
