In February of this year Donna emailed me explaining that she was planning a family vacation in Italy for August and she wanted to learn about fly fishing opportunities in the area around Lake Garda where they would be staying for the first leg of their holiday. The main tributary of Lake Garda is the Sarca river,so I contacted Paolo Ferrazza at Sarca Fly Fishing and began to put together some booking and logistics.
I had several enjoyable conversations with Donna over the next few months while I helped her to sort out details like regarding renting a car in a small village on the lake, where Cristina at Santorum Car Rental was very accomodating.
Upon arriving, Paolo got them set up with all the gear they would need, and took them to a remote valley to fish Arno creek. He provided a very special lunch for Donna and Connor where the view looks as nice as the food and beer. I was very happy to hear this from Donna at the conclusion of her trip:
We had an amazing time !! ... Paulo was amazing and the perfect guide from the moment we met up w/him ! Thx again for all your leg work & assistance with so many of the details !!
