a Mosca Valsesiana

Pesca a Mosca Valsesiana is a website dedicated to preserving and sharing the traditional fly-fishing method of the Valsesia, a valley beneath Monte Rosa in the northwestern Italian Alps. Founded in 2011 by Valsesian Andrea Scalvini, the site introduces visitors to a technique passed down through generations and to the distinctive way of observing and understanding the aquatic environment that it encourages. The method uses a simple fixed rod, a line braided from horsehair, a short leader with a small selection of essential flies, and the angler’s skill.

Through articles, stories, and videos featuring experienced Valsesian anglers, the website explores the tradition, its history, and its techniques. Visitors can learn about the Valsesiana approach from local practitioners, discover information about its equipment and notable figures, and find details about courses and events. An online shop offers equipment specifically intended for Valsesiana fly fishing. The site presents itself as a resource created by a local practitioner for people curious about this distinctive fishing heritage, whether they want to learn about its background or explore the craft firsthand.
