Donal,
I was in Bologana a few years back and spent an hour or so watching
people fish off the bank of some large river next to a motor bridge.
A very interesting sport over there!
1) VERY long rods
2) light spinning reels with very light lines
3) very elaborate bobbers (haven't seen the likes in the US)
4) bait was various size grubs/pupua
5) storage boxes made from fine woods and highly polished that doubled
as a seat
Lot's of beer and wine and meat and cheese and beer and wine and beer
and wine.

The arno is dead. It's one of the most polluted rivers in Europe. At
least by the time it gets to Florence. It's Giuseppe's river, he'd know
more about it.

Thanks for the replys...
The reason why I ask is that we (myself and 3 others) will be taking
part in the World Coarse Club Championships over there the first week
in June. It is supposed to be on the Ostellato Canal, but there is
talk at the moment that is is polluted and it may be moved to the
Arno at Bologana...
Any inside knowledge of the water over the coming months would be
greatly appreciated. eg.
baits : bloodworm, worm, maggot...groundbait, ... etc...
methods : whip, pole, slider etc..
target species : carp..????
and so on...
Sound

| Hello there,
here is an Italian answering. Unfortunatly for you guys I'm not
anymore (14 yrs) in fishing competions for coarse.
I've fished only once back in '76/'77 only the Ostellato channel
finishing the final with a NULL (not even a 2 grams fish).
Anyhow U must use long poles, at that time I had 1 pole every 50
cm. starting from 1.5 mt. to 7.30 mt. these without reel plus 3
rods with reel 4, 4.5 and 5 mt.
At that time the rules were 1 point per fish plus 1 point per gram
so was better chasing smaller fishes than big ones and speed was a
key together with the actractant feed to keep the small close to
your place.
Now I don't do anymore tournaments, but I know that the techniques
are changed and the fashion is the so called ENGLISH technique
where U use special carp rods (3-4 meters) and special bobbers
keeping the line totally in subwater with the tip as well. This
only for bigger fish: carp, tench, white, barb mainly.
I donno the other place, in BOLOGANA but I can ask to someone who
still is in tournaments.
The key anyhow is the use of telescopic rods and bobbers (totally
different from the US one) plus the feeding mixture plus the PLACE
where you get assigned. They divide the space in sectors (usually
10 or 15) with only 5 mt. of space per person (depends also from
the place, trees etc) and U get into prizes tipically in the first
3, but the result usually is made of the sum of results from the team
components (4).
I hope is enough
