Monzoro

Our lakes offer relaxed yet exciting fishing, coupled with the classical Italian flair and outstanding fish stocks, as well as numerous facilities for a comfortable experience. All lakes are available on a drive and survive basis. The venues are suitable also for trips with your family and dogs are also welcome. The lakes are also suited to be fished from campers or caravans. There are no Fishing Licences necessary.

From what we know the lake has been stocked the first time in the 80s’ and the population of big fish that resides in here today is largely coming from this first stocking of fish. Because of very accurate records of the last 10 years, we know that the lake holds approximately 50 carp between 18kg and 35 kg, where 5 of those have shurley broke the 30kg barrier and other 5 are just under that. Furthermore there are also around 60 carp going from 15kg to 20kg, as well as a head of 150 new fish introduced in the fall of  2014 that ranges from 5kg to 15kg.
 
In 2105 and 2016, some unknown fish of 19kg to 23kg have been caught which is a clear sign that lakes always hold some surprises, even when detailed catch records are being held. The lake also holds grass carp of various sizes. But the real thrill of this lake is to catch one of the old giants. I was fortunate enough to have this privilege on the 28th may of 2015. Landing a beast of 30,15kg mirror carp was a truly epic moment!!
The Lake differs in many aspects from our other waters we propose. You fish here one with nature. No prepared swims. Platforms and pontoons not available. No power for charging devices (you need to go to the clubhouse of the trout lake to do so). Even if the swims are numbered, the only thing you will find is the grass will be cut and for the rest nature takes its place.

You can start with at least one kilo of bait per rod. If you don’t get action promptly than stop feeding and maybe change the depth you are fishing in. You can also bring particles with you but this attracts the smaller fish or if you are lucky one of the big grass carp. The selective fishing with good quality boilies has proven to be the best. The lake is mostly gravely/rocky. There is not much silt. Because of the steep margins that go down quickly to good depths, these areas are often fished, but there are also some plateaus. A good scout with the marker rod here is paramount. Our advice is then to fish different depths around a plateau area to intercept the route of the fish. We advise a 0,40mm mono mainline with good abrasion resistance. Shockleaders and braided lines are not allowed. Rods of 12ft and 3lb or 3.25lb testcurve coupled with robust reels are here the best choice. Keep the rigs simple, and the hooks sharp. Fish here are not very riggy, keep more attention at your location and bait application
