Italy's freshwater fishing season varies by region and species. The northern lake district (Garda, Como, Maggiore) fishes well from April through October. Central Italian reservoirs produce good carp and catfish from May through September. River fishing for trout in the alpine north is typically open from March through October (varies by province). The Po valley and its floodplain lakes hold big catfish (wels), with the best sport from June through August. Winter fishing is less productive in the north but central and southern Italian stillwaters fish reasonably throughout the year.
