THE SARCA RIVER
The Alto Sarca Fishing Association manages one of the alpine best-preserved trout fisheries: this is the Sarca River area flowing in the Rendena valley, besides the river main flow this area is characterized by its tributaries and various clear-water mountain lakes.
The main Rules
- The fishing season starts in late February and runs until September 30th. Except the smaller tributary streams and mountain lakes.
- To fish our waters the local fishing permit is required, as specified below.
- Only barbless hooks are allowed.
- The Sarca River features various fly-only no-kill areas and a trophy-area. Only totally wild fish populate these, and only one barbless fly (dry, ninph or streamer) is allowed for fishing.
Our association welcomes You on our waters, and recommends to practice catch and release fishing.
Species
Marble trout (trota marmorata, Salmo marmoratus):
according to our regulation, no more than 2 fish/day are to be kept. Min size 35cm.
Although for this rare and important specie catch and release is highly recommended.

Another specie characterizing the Sarca River inhabitants is the Grayling,
