Tourist Fishing Reserves

By: Visit Monterosa

Alagna Reserve

Varallo
The Varallo tourist reserve offers fly-fishing and no-kill fishing only for over a kilometre along the Mastallone stream, from its confluence with the Sesia to the 'Ponte delle Folle'. Scrapes and holes alternate with wide blades, making fishing easy. These waters are rich in brown trout and rainbow fish, but it is not uncommon to also catch marmoras and their hybrids.

Scopello
One kilometre and 200 metres of Sesia: scrapes and deep blades surrounded by wide gravel banks, then the river crosses the village of Scopello before opening up again among the meadows. "By 'spying' from the three bridges crossing the river, one can realise how many trout and grayling inhabit this stretch. It is a reserve, which opens every year in spring, where it is possible to fish by touch, spinning or fly fishing, with no obstacles, and where any accompanying persons can wait for you while relaxing in the sun.

Tourist section 'Alta Valle Sesia
 Two kilometres of Sesia in the municipality of Alagna where mostly brown trout and rainbow trout of an average size of 3 per kilo are stocked, with some larger specimens. You can fish with any technique and both the 6-fish permit and the NO-KILL permit to be used only for fly fishing with single barbless hooks are for sale.

RESERVES SUPPORTING MEMBERS

La Selva
On the Mastallone stream, from the lower border of the municipality of Cravagliana with Varallo, up to the Pianaronda bridge, Sassello and Meula, also in the municipality of Cravagliana, is a no-kill fly fishing reserve. Access to the reserve is allowed to Supporting Members who are quota holders (number limited to 20 members) and for the "green stretch" only (from the lower boundary of the municipality of Cravagliana with Varallo to the Selva bridge) also to fishermen with a daily permit that can be purchased at local public establishments.

Land Wasser Reserve
In the municipalities of Rimella, Fobello and Cravagliana, on the Mastallone stream from about 50 metres downstream of the Due Acque bridge to the footbridge of the old mule track to Cervatto, and on the Land-Wasser stream from the confluence with the Mastallone up to Madonna del Rumore. Only supporting members are allowed to fish with all techniques in this reserve.

Piode Reserve
The Sesia from Pila to Campertogno: seven kilometres of uncontaminated waters rich in indigenous populations of marmorated trout and grayling, as well as brown trout and rainbow trout. The Piode reserve, one of the most prestigious in Italy for fly fishing, allows only catch-and-release fly fishing. Access is only allowed by prior arrangement and to no more than 6 anglers at a time.
