Fly fishing in the Brunello di Montalcino red wine region
Castiglione della Pescaia is not only a beautiful medieval hamlet by the sea, immersed in wonderful nature: the sea reigns here and fishing does not come second. You can cast to bluefish in top-water from the shore or, on the best days, reach, on a belly boat, a small estuary just a few miles from the harbour to look for big-sized bluefish. At early dawn dolphinfish entertain you with very powerful attacks and acrobatic
jumps. You just need to be equipped with a 9 and a 10 weight rod, to fish with a floating line, but you’d better take one intermediate one with you as well. Poppers, Gurglers and streamers of different sizes are the flies to be used in every situation. When the sea does not allow you to fish, you can go to the beautiful Orbetello lagoon, where middle-sized seabass, weighing about 2 kg, only attack top-water baits: it is a wonderful
landscape with extremely combative fish that you can fish from the shore as well as from the Kayak. There are a lot of opportunities in this area, which is still not much exploited for fly fishing, though very productive.
