Okay, now you know all about the regulations and the most popular Lake Como’s fish species: you’re ready to go for your day of fishing! But where to go? I’ll help you out: check out the fisherman’s map, which points out the territories where you can cast your bait.
As you can see, all the shores of Lake Como allow you to fish, so, unless it is explicitly marked directly on the shore, you can choose any point of the lake to start your fishing trip. Notice that there are many waterfronts walkways around the lake, some of which allow fishing and others which do not, so lookout for signs that state no fishing during tourist season.
Where possible, you can also rent a boat to make your experience even more unique. One good piece of advice is to try switching from a traditional fishing boat to a kayak, if you want to learn how to fish from a kayak without spending a fortune.
When fishing for northern pike in the lake, try to use a weedless spoon around vegetation. These spoons are often regarded as the greatest lures for lake fishing since they can be used in and around weeds and foliage without becoming snagged. Keep an eye out for logs or rock piles if there is little to no vegetation. When fishing around structures with rough surfaces, just choose a thicker leader material that can withstand abrasions.
Finally, one last tip: fish early in the morning or in the evening, precisely when the mild south breeze picks up, to help cover your fly line from the cunning chub.

I’ve been fishing at this lake for a long time and really the fishing there is great. Thanks for the info.
Hey nice post…
I just moved to como and I live near Borgo Vico area.
How do you get the fishing license and where can you fish without it ?
I wanna try my hand at it just for catch-and-release purposes.

Hi, I’m planning a trip to Lake Como, Italy in September 2023. I would like a guided marble trout fishing trip while I’m there. I can’t seem to find anything online. Can someone please help me find a guide. The one I did find lakecomofishing.com has a bad email address. Does anyone know how to contact them?
