fishing the mincio river in lake garda,italy

#1 Post by SKIP »

Heading to lake garda next week lads and im bringing tele rod and reel with a bit of tackle also. Just wondering has anyone fished the mincio river that flows out of lake garda at pescheria. I was there in may and noticed alot pf lads carp fishing but to be honest i never fished for them before. So if anyone could give us any type of info that would be great

Thanks mate I will give it a go, do you need your bait a certain distance from your float?

Just a quick update lads. Had absolutely brilliant fishing throughout the week. Species caught were bass, bream, dace,perch and a whopper chub. Plenty of fish and.the local anglers were really helpfull. Only downside was the relentless midgeys but far out weighed by the fishing and beauty of the place...recommend to all :mrgreen:
