During the World Masters Fly Fishing Championships next week there we will fish two sessions on Italy’s Sarca River. There will be an upper and a lower section. Both parts of this beautiful river run in an off blue glacial like color over shallow boulders and rocks.
Pete and I fished the Sarca ourselves today. Stefano took Jerry to a private piece of dry fly water deep in the Brenta Dolomites. Pete fished a straight Euro Nymphing rig in the deep pools while I patrolled the shallow water with dry dropper. I caught plenty of small browns and marble trout, but hands down, the fish of the day was this 21” marble trout by Pete!
We fished hard all day today. It was very enjoyable. Pete and I are longtime pals that sadly, only see each other once a year – at the Worlds. Being this was just a fishing day rather than competition; we enjoyed every minute. Naturally the day ended with a fine pasta meal!
Writing “back in time” isn’t as fun, especially now that everyone has read the grand finale. Nevertheless, we had some fun practice days and I’ll give the short and sweet rundowns!
