Three films that will make you dream of your next destination? The Italian Alps are not just about the Olympics; there are rivers and lakes waiting for you when the weather is fine, along with trout and shade. Here are some ideas to get you started! And with Sandro Soldarini, the guy who’s building amazing fly rods. It’s enough to feed our appetite for future trips! It’s a breath of summer in the heart of winter!
We Seek Water : We Seek Water is an ode to alpine Fly Fishing. This first film in our new series looks beyond the fish and the mechanics. It’s about early light on cold rivers, slow breaths before the cast, the weight of silence between mountains, and the people who keep coming back because the water keeps calling. We’re here for the whole experience not just the grip-and-grin. If this speaks to you, join the journey. New chapters coming soon. Location: Alpine streams and lakes in Ossola Valley (catch & release; leave no trace)
The River, The Rod and Me : In this video, we took Sandro, the founder of Soldarini Fly Fishing Tackle, fishing. It was an intense and stimulating few days, during which Sandro told us about his idea of fly fishing, what inspires him, and what goes into the process of creating his products.
And the last one: From the idea to the water: How is a revolutionary fly rod born? It starts with a vision: to eliminate every barrier between the angler and the fish. In this video, we take you behind the scenes of Soldarini Fly Tackle to discover the journey of the new Hydropsyche Full Contact. From the first sketches to the technical challenges of integrating a 3K carbon handle directly onto a graph-carbon blank, Sandro Soldarini shares the philosophy behind this “all-carbon” masterpiece. No cork, no energy loss—just pure sensitivity.
