Fishing in Piediluco Lake with private guide
Welcome to Lake Piediluco: A Scenic Retreat for Pike Fishing in the Heart of Umbria Embark on an adventure to the picturesque Lake Piediluco, nestled in the heart of Umbria, Italy, just a short 1 hour and 30-minute drive from the vibrant city of Rome.
This artificial lake, positioned at an altitude of 1,207 feet above sea level, spans 0.6 square miles, with a maximum depth of 62 feet, creating an ideal setting for a thrilling pike fishing experience.
As your expert fishing guide, I specialize in the pursuit of the elusive pike, employing various techniques such as spinning, bait casting, and fly fishing. Accommodating one or two anglers on my boat, each excursion is tailored for an unforgettable fishing experience.
Lake Piediluco is centrally located in Italy, with the charming village of Piediluco, a fraction of Terni, adorning its shores. Situated in the southeastern fringes of Umbria, extending into Lazio, this lake, covering 0.7 square miles, stands as the largest natural lake in the region after Trasimeno.
The name suggests a possible interpretation as "at the feet of the sacred forest." Part of the remnants of the ancient Lacus Velinus, formed during the Quaternary, Lake Piediluco, along with the Lungo, Ripasottile, and Ventina lakes in the province of Rieti, adds to the region's rich aquatic heritage. With an irregular shape and a perimeter of approximately 8 miles, the lake sits at an altitude of 1,230 feet, offering a maximum depth of around 62 feet. Its natural inlet is the Rio Fuscello, while human-made canals connect it to the Velino River and channel a portion of the Nera River's waters.
The lake's water flow and release are meticulously regulated to meet the energy needs of nearby industries in Terni. The effluent, the Velino River, diverts to Marmore, forming the stunning Marmore Waterfalls where it joins the Nera River.
Immerse yourself in the beauty of Lake Piediluco's lush surroundings, indulge in the thrill of pike fishing, and create lasting memories against the backdrop of Umbria's serene landscapes.
