Fishing in the Val di Fassa

Fishing is managed by the Associazione Pescatori Val di Fassa (Val di Fassa Fishing Association) and is possible in the River Avisio and several water basins

Fishing is managed by the Associazione Pescatori Val di Fassa and is possible in the River Avisio (along the whole section belonging to the Val di Fassa), in the Fedaia basin, Lake Pozze (S. Pellegrino Pass) and in the Pezzè basin (Soraga). The maximum catch allowed is six trout.
For the River Avisio the season begins on 1 April; for lakes, it is set for after the thaw and in any case, not before 10 March. The season ends on 30 September for all bodies of water.
Fishing permits, which cost 10.50 euros, can be bought in shops or bars in every village in the valley and they list detailed rules and regulations for fishing. For a permit (valid for one day only), it is necessary to hold a governmental licence.
