NATURE
TRADITION
The Lagoon of Orbetello, at the foothill of the Mount Argentario and immersed in the world renowned Tuscan coast along the Maremma, represents an unique ecosystem where many fish species find the best environment to reproduce and thrive, in particular Sea bass, Sea bream and Mullet. We access the lagoon by the grace of The Pescatori di Orbetello, a fishermen trust that was granted exclusive rights to this water in the 14th Century when humble fishermen saved the life of the Pope after a shipwreck in 1376.
The Lagoon is a huge flat of about 27 square kilometres (over 10 square miles) recognised as "Site of International Importartance" by the Ramsar Convention, being a biodiverse paradise to discover the pink flamingos, egrets, herons, osprey and the rare black-winged stilt (Cavaliere d'Italia) who stalk prey in these shallow waters.
Part of the Lagoon of Orbetello is also a protected WWF Oasis.
FISHING EXPERIENCE
Top Water Fishing (Fly Fishing and/or Spinning) in this paradise is a pretty unique experience.
Fishing from the dedicated boat allow us to chase our targets even in the most remote spots of the lagoon in total comfort and safety. The boat is reserved to a maximum of 2 (Fly Fishing) or 3 (Spinning - Lure Fishing) anglers per session, prior booking, with an authorised and certified Fishing Guide AIGUPP (Italian Professional Fishing Guide Trust).
All recreational fishing from the boat is "Catch&Release" only.
Although the European Sea bass is surely the premium target, the powerful Sea bream (Gilt-head bream) is always a great experience, especially caught on the fly "tropical flat style" or Spinning.
