Lake Como and the surrounding territory offer unique locations for those who love fishing. You can fish in complete tranquillity in the waters of the Lario, while enjoying the breath-taking views immersed in nature on the banks of Lake Mezzola and the “Briantei” lakes. Or you can go fishing in the crystal clear waters of the Alpine lakes and streams that flow down from the peaks. However, if you want something easier and more relaxing, the artificial basins are for you.
A fishing licence is needed to fish in Lake Como and in the lakes and rivers around the Lario. However, no special permits are needed if you choose to fish in the artificial reservoirs. 
Fishing is regulated by the Lombardy Region. Lake Como belongs to basin no. 5 Verbano Ceresio and Lario.
