If you are visiting Cinque Terre, you should seriously think about fly fishing for Trout and other native species in our pristine backcountry waters. Or, in the appropriate season, experience saltwater flyfishing in some of the most stunning sceneries of the Mediterranean.

I am Gianluigi, a registered fly fishing guide member of the Italian Professional Fishing Guide Association (AIGUPP) based in Monterosso al Mare, in the heart of Cinque Terre National Park. I have over 35 years of fishing experience and depending on your preference, age, and fitness I can offer you half or full-day excursions in a wide range of waters, from wild and remote creeks in search of native Mediterranean Trout to more accessible 'club' river sections holding good sized browns and rainbows.

During the months of August and September, I guide in saltwater targeting juvenile Mahi Mahi, False Albacore, and Frigate Tunas off the Cinque Terre coast, and in the winter months, I have access to very good private waters populated with large and powerful Rainbow Trout.

I will take care of all logistics including national fishing license, daily fishing tickets where required, and pick up/drop off off at your hotel.

I provide good quality rods and reels and a broad selection of local flies. Waders/boots are also available upon request

My half-day excursions include snacks/drinks, and a box lunch comes with the full day (option to eat in the country restaurant at extra cost).

Any time of the year, just drop me a line and I will do my best to give you an unforgettable fishing experience!

8 hr trip – Trout Fishing on April 23, 20262 adults

fished with Gian in Goretto on a river that Hemingway himself fished and wrote about. Gian was very helpful and informative about the fish and the history of the are . the fishing trip was a great success and it brought back wonderful memories of trips I've had in the past. I would highly recommend you book a trip with Gianluigi he will put you in the best situation to catch fish!

Reported catch:
Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)

Fantastic nature and fishing experience in Liguria
8 hr trip – Trout Fishing on August 21, 20252 adults

Gianluigi was a super friendly guy that went above and beyond to provide us with the best possible experience. He took us to a gorgeous river in the mountains where we as fly fishing beginners were guided all the way from learning how to cast to landing our first trout. 5 stars all the way

Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)

Special 5 hour trip for Lindsay Buono on October 17, 20252 adults

My husband and i had a great time fishing with Gianluigi. not only did we catch a bunch of fish, but he went out of his way to make favorable modifications to the original/advetised plans, helped us navigate the train station to both being picked up and dropped off in a convenient way, and was a great instructor.

Reported catch:
Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)

Capt. Gianluigi runs trips out of Monterosso Al Mare. These waters are known for Trout and he will show you how to catch them. With extensive knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
