An Unforgettable Day of Fishing on the Passirio with Matteo De Falco from Passione Artificiale
It was a cold, rainy morning in May when I received an unexpected phone call that brightened my day. On the other end was Matteo De Falco, the well-known host of the TV series “Passione Artificiale” on the Caccia e Pesca channel. He invited me to join him for an episode focused on fishing in the rivers of South Tyrol. Despite the challenging weather conditions that had made many of my favorite fishing spots unfishable, the private reserve on the Passirio River presented a rare opportunity. With special permits in hand, I eagerly accepted Matteo’s invitation.
Fishing can be unpredictable, and the persistent rains had swollen the Passirio to dangerous levels, turning its waters murky and brown. However, on the day of our outing, we kept a close eye on the river levels, hopeful for a change. As luck would have it, the flow began to recede, giving us a glimmer of hope. With excitement and determination, we met in Merano, ready to make the most of the day.
The fishing day turned out to be an extraordinary success. Donning our waders in the heart of Merano, we quickly became a spectacle for curious tourists and passersby. The water, a clear and inviting shade of green, was perfect for fishing. Matteo, a master of the streamer technique, showcased his skills with some impressive chases, while I enjoyed using the nymph method, catching several fish right from the start.
This experience with Matteo not only deepened my passion for fishing but also sparked a curiosity to explore new techniques. Although I’ve always favored nymph fishing, the effectiveness of the streamer that day was something I’m eager to try more in the future.
You can see how our adventure unfolded in episode 9 of the 2023 season of Passione Artificiale, available on the Caccia e Pesca channel. A day of fishing with Matteo De Falco is more than just an opportunity to catch fish; it’s an enriching experience that stays with you long after the last hook is released.
