Fly Fishing in the Aurino River

The Aurino River, known as Ahr in German, originates from the “Vette d’Italia” and flows through the Aurina Valley for about fifty kilometers until it merges with the larger Rienza River in Brunico. The Aurino has a moderate water flow, but in many sections, it features a steep gradient that creates strong currents.

Fishing permits for the Aurino River are all privately managed, ensuring that the river remains uncrowded thanks to the limited number of anglers allowed. This makes it an ideal spot for those seeking a peaceful and exclusive fishing experience.

The Aurino is rich in beautiful, sizable grayling, making it a highly technical river to fish. The best times to fish are in the spring and autumn when the waters are clear, thanks to the river’s glacial origins. During these seasons, anglers can enjoy dry fly fishing, but as with most rivers in the Dolomites, nymph fishing skills are essential.

The breathtaking scenery of the Aurina Valley adds to the allure of fishing here. The stunning landscapes, combined with the technical challenges of the river, create an unforgettable fly fishing experience.

Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a novice looking to improve your skills, the Aurino River offers a unique and rewarding fly fishing adventure. So pack your gear and get ready to explore one of Italy’s most beautiful and challenging rivers.
