PRO COMMUNITY

Andrea Pegorin, 46, lives in Tuscany and has a deep, lifelong passion for fly fishing. He primarily targets trout and grayling in running waters, favouring the elegance and precision of dry fly fishing — though he also enjoys the challenge of pursuing black bass from his belly boat. A committed catch and release angler, Andrea always approaches the water with respect for the environment and the delicate ecosystems he fishes.

For Andrea, fly tying is a passion within a passion — an essential part of being a fly fisher. It connects him with entomology and deepens his understanding of the rivers he loves. Over the years, he has competed in numerous national and international fly-tying championships, achieving important victories and awards. These events, along with the fly-fishing shows he attends, continue to motivate him to learn, innovate, and connect with anglers worldwide.

Andrea regularly organises fly-tying workshops and contributes to La Pesca Mosca & Spinning, Italy’s historic fly-fishing magazine, where he writes articles on fishing and fly tying. He also collaborates with several leading brands in the fly-fishing sector as a pro-staff member and is proud to represent Fulling Mill.

A member of the Prato Mosca Club Board of Directors, Andrea helps promote fly fishing through community events, courses, and outreach — sharing his knowledge and passion to inspire the next generation of anglers.

We are delighted to welcome Andrea to the Fulling Mill Pro Team.
