Fly fishing near Turin, Italy?

All,

I'm going with my wife for a two day conference in Turin Italy. Anybody
know if there is decent fishing near the city? I figure if I can get a
day on the river in that might be better than wondering the city by
myself...

Thanks,

Randy

Knowing that responding to these posts is usually a waste of time.....

There's a lot of fly fishing near Turin. Your problem, for a "day on
the river", especially if you don't speak Italian (and even if you
do), will be getting the proper permits and finding the proper stretches
of water without spending days doing it. You will want a guide service
that can do this for you *well* (i.e. weeks) before the day you want to
fish. I don't know anyone around Turin who does this. You might try
calling or emailing:

Orvis Shop, Torino
Via Stampatori, 19/e
(39) 011 5185082

or

Fly Time, Torino
(39) 011 8174123


Failing that, contact these good fellows in Florence and see if they will
do it or if they have any English-speaking colleagues around Torino.

and not waisting peoples time with there own lame off topic bull****.
You're advice is much appreciated.

Wait. I like it here, and I suspect many here care about FFing as much
(well, almost as much g) as I do.

By "waste of time" I meant folks who drop in only to ask about advice for
a particular area and then never respond at all to the advice and never
post a TR of their trip....

Glad you appreciated whatever I could offer. Hope if you do go fishing,
you will let us know how it was. And if you don't, there are two
interesting art exhibits going on in Turin now (at the Promotrice Belle
Arte and at the Fondazione Accorzi) that you could attend and review for
us....

When you have succeeded in creating your own private army of reference
librarians, you may feel free to jam them in whichever bodily orifice best
suits your pleasure, Until that time, one suspects you'll have to try to
make due with the world as you find it.

You're advice is much appreciated.

As was your absence.

Kinda like the above, you mean?

Yeah, JR is sweet that way. It's really the only reason we keep him
around. So.... you got what you came for? Good. Now don't let the door
hit you in the ass on the way out.

.. . . and, yes, Cyli you still have this job. I just try to help out
when I can. ;-)

Thank you. That was much nicer than my response was firing up to be.

Try the website www.hiflyshop.com in Siena. There is fishing on the
Tiber in Eastern Tuscany.
