Treviso is the ‘Little Venice’, when you’re heading up towards Slovenia from the autostrada, you see the signs but all you can think about is pressing on to the border, when actually it’s just a small detour to fly fish for trout, street fishing style, RIGHT IN the heart of Treviso! Maybe you should stop!
Last week, I was reading the New York Times when an article caught my eye, pulling me away from all the international politics — mainly the Middle East. The headline immediately sparked my curiosity: Fly Fishing in Treviso. What? Come again? Fly fishing in the middle of a city, and in Treviso of all places? That was enough to draw me into the article and discover something I had no idea about: there are fly fishing guides in Treviso who can take you out to catch wild brown trout — right in the city — and then wind up your day dining on a terrace! In short, everything we love!
So I did a bit of searching online and found this film that perfectly captures the vibe and leaves you with just one desire: stop in Treviso, park up, go fishing with Damiano Molon or Alberto Galeazzo, spend the day laughing your head off catching wild brown trout, and then treat yourself to a slap-up meal at one of the city’s terrace restaurants. This film by Alberto was shot right at the end of the Covid lockdown, when everything seemed to be coming back to life, it’s all bicycles and fly fishing!
