Upper Nera River ,
Borgo Cerreto (Perugia-Umbria)
Nera is a spring creek that flows through a steep and narrow Umbrian limestone valley. This section of “No Kill’ began in 1994. It is famous for the big trout that rise on dry flies. Nearby is a hatchery and an education center. This same hatchery provided the fish stocked in the Tevere Tail Water and others rivers in central Italy. This river is restricted to classic fly-fishing only and catch-and-release regulations. Fishing is carried out mostly with dry flies, imitating the very rich presence of mayflies and caddis.

Lower Nera River
Ferentillo ( Terni – Umbria)
The Lower Nera NK is a very interesting for the dry fly. The beat is 20 km far from the other flyfishing area ( Upper Nera), close to Ferentillo. This is a beautiful river with clear water that runs through weed beds. As all spring creeks, it is rich with insect life, and particularly known for Effemera Danica hatches in May and June.
The beat is divided into two distinct sections, spinning and fly fishing and fly fishing only, each with its own particular characteristics but both have a beautiful population of wild brown trout. This river is restricted to classic fly-fishing only and catch-and-release regulations. Fishing is carried out mostly with dry flies, imitating the very rich presence of mayflies and caddis. The river bottom is pretty easy to walk on, but walking continuously on the river causes the less trained to become a little more tired.
