Matteo De Falco

Fly fishing guide holding a marble trout in Northern Italy

With more than 30 years of fly fishing experience, fishing has become much more than a passion. It has shaped my entire professional life.

Over the years, I have produced and presented more than 1,000 fishing programs, written books about fishing and travelled the world with a fishing rod in my hand.

Today, I bring that experience to every guiding day.

I know how Northern Italy’s alpine rivers change with seasons, water levels and weather. Choosing the right river, the right technique and the right moment is often what makes the difference.

Whether you are an experienced fly angler or completely new to fly fishing, I tailor each day to your skills, expectations and pace.

We target brown trout, marble trout and grayling, always with respect for the fish and the river.

My goal is simple: give you a great day of fishing — and one worth remembering.
