Fishing  

 

Ayas, crossed by Evancon, offers numerous occasion for a good fishing day. There are lakes reachable with a few hours of excursion: I recommend you to know more about your aims looking in its page in this website. I am disposable for advices and clearings, of course. NB: fishing in the Valley isn't for free. You must have your FIPS licence (honestly, I don't know if other countries' licences are good - try asking to the AIAT), and special passes, given at the city hall and in the AIATs. The one day pass, which allows you to capture 8 fishes, cosys 17€. There are passes with longer date of expiry. Controls are quite frequents: not only "Guardie Forestali", as Italian Rangers are called, but also Ayas' fishguards, who have to identify themselves with an identification pass. 

Fishes: what, how and where

Evançon Torrent  

Characterized by wide parts with medium stream, this torrent is good for fishing from Frachey's zone, because before it presents a zone of rapids, with a lot of rocks. The sheets of water between Frachey and Champoluc offer the possibility of catching beautiful trouts, usually Iridee but also Fario, not really big. Unfortunately the presence of big "islands" of stones slows the streams; paradoxally, in the city center you'll find the torrent deeper. Some advices? In general fishermen use to run up the stream, maybe starting from the center to go up towards Frachey. I recommend to use a float thin and sensible, to feel soon the fish's touch.  

Lake Ciarcerio  

This lake has alternately been marked "high abundance of fish" and "normal" during the years. Nevertheless, it's a wide basin which always offer the possibility to catch beautiful preys: I'm speaking about Fario trouts, even if I'm not sure about the lack of other species. The problem is the lake's vastity: trouts eat only twice a day, and not for more than 40 minutes. how can you catch them? It's true, trout is a fish which loves moving; so, you don't have to haunt it, because it "checks" costantly  the lake's banks looking for food. But Ciarcerio is really wide, and you have to follow all the signs you can see on the water, and move often.

An advice? The bank near path's arrival, the one close to skilift's terminal; deep water, space and shadows, almost on sunrise.
