How to fish it · for Brown Trout
When
Early spring and late summer into autumn fish best; the Rienza carries a lot of catchment and colours up quickly after rain, so timing around the weather matters more here than on the smaller tributaries.
Where
Riffle heads and pool tails through the middle valley; the long flat glides lower down hold fish too, just spread thinner.
Method
Nymph the broken water, dry fly the flats once things settle after a hatch. Barbless single hook standard practice.
Kit
9 to 10 ft #5 for a bigger valley river. Floating line, 12 ft leader to 5 lb fluoro.
Why this works
Excellent — water temperature is right today, though time of day could be better.
