| Introduction | Why becoming a Fly casting instructor in a quite full world of every sort of teachers? A big big love for an amazing ethical, and healthy activity, potentially for everyone. The unique way of fishing that respects environment changes, times and mutations, the only one that protect fishes and rare species. I started on the river when I was just 7 years old, my Grand Father took me to the first italian premier trout waters, and the magic was done: I totally started to love fly fishing and practicing, trying to improve every single day every single movement and perception related to casting/fishing, I tie flies as well, more like a fisherman does, than a competition pro tier. I fly fish actively since 1990. I won several casting competitions in Italy and in the U.S. because distance and accuracy competitions always attracted me. I then decided to become instructor in two different italian casting schools: Claudio Carrara Fly Fishing School S.N.P.M. Arci pesca fisa then I took the proper FFF CI Instructor in Montana U.S. in 2008. |

I can guide you through best italian and Tirol, Slovenian waters, and teach you every single aspect of fly casting/fishing.

But I say in advance: my benchmark reference are always SAGE fly rods. my favourite since years and years. |

| Favorite Music | All that is good. And also my own music. |
| Favorite Books | Comments The five best flyfishing books off all time are: 5. The River Why, by David James Duncan. Eloquent and poignant, especially in the married- life context. This is the book my non-fishing friends read and admire. 4. A River Runs Through It, by Norman Maclean. This novella exudes the tightest prose this side of E.B. White. Yeah … it’s the essence. If you get it, you are a flyfisher. And the two-hour movie barely scratches the surface of what's really in the written work. 3. River Music, by James Babb. It’s Babb’s best work to date, which is tall praise, since everything he writes is wonderful. As a technician, Babb is incredible … and I’ve seen him fish. It’s all real. 2. The Longest Silence, by Thomas McGuane. This collection is the best snapshot compilation of essays on the sport ever produced. 1. The Habit of Rivers, by Ted Leeson. Reading this book for the first time was a life-changing experience. Leeson's range crosses genres and generations; he is the Eric Clapton of outdoor writers. Buy 'em. Borrow 'em. Steal 'em. Read all these works, and you will shorten the fly fishing "enlightenment curve" by 20-30 years ... promise. (by Field and Stream) |
