Alberto Giovanelli : Guideline

Alberto started his angling experience with spinning excursions when he was just 12 years of age. He soon got to know all the rivers in the provinces of Reggio Emilia and Modena, and started using artificial flies in 1982. Since then, his casting experience and his angling expertise have greatly increased thanks to meetings with top Italian anglers and the most famous fishing guides of Austria, ex Yugoslavia, Tierra del Fuego, Venezuela, Honduras, Nicaragua, Cuba and north-western Canada.

These experiences have helped to create an all-round fly-fisherman capable of using a range of tackle, and, above all, with a set of skills in terms of “water craft” that is extremely rare in Italy. Today, he mainly works as an expert Steelhead fishing guide in British Columbia, where he has spent more than 19 years haunting the famous tributaries of the Skeena river system: the Kispiox, Babine, Morice, Bulkley, Copper, Sustut and Nass. The renowned specialist US magazine “Wild Steelhead & Salmon” has acknowledged Alberto Giovanelli’s exceptional casting abilities and catches when fishing for the species generally considered to be the most difficult and demanding, devoting a multiple page article in which Alberto was dubbed the Italian “Mister Steelhead”.

IN ITALIAN

Alberto, anni 54, Modena.

Inizia come pescatore all’età di 12 anni con la tecnica dello spinning. Tutti i torrenti Reggiani e Modenesi hanno perso ben presto i loro segreti. Inizia a pescare con la mosca artificiale nel 1982. Da allora, l’esperienza di lancio e soprattutto di pesca si è formata con l’incontro dei migliori pescatori Italiani e delle più conosciute guide di pesca dell’Austria, dell’ex Jugoslavia, della Terra del Fuoco, del Venezuela, dell’Honduras, del Nicaragua, di Cuba e del Nord Ovest del Canada. Vivere tali esperienze ha formato un pescatore a mosca completo nell’uso di attrezzature diverse e soprattutto dotato “del senso dell’acqua” come pochi sono in Italia.

Ora principalmente sviluppa le sue doti di guida esperta nella pesca alla Steelhead in British Columbia dove da oltre 19 anni frequenta i famosi fiumi del bacino dello Skeena: Kispiox, Babine, Morice, Bulkley, Copper, Sustut e Nass. La famosa rivista di pesca Americana “Wild Steelhead and Salmon” ha riconosciuto ad Alberto Giovanelli capacità straordinarie di lancio e di catture nella pesca della specie da tutti considerata la più difficile e impegnativa, al punto da dedicare un importante articolo di diverse pagine al “Mister Steelhead” Italiano.
