Renato Bugelli, Italy

^{Can you tell something more about yourself ?}
“ I'm from Italy and I'll be soon 61 years old. I live not far from Parma, north Italy and I can easily fish on the Alps and Apennines. ”

^{How long have you been a fly fisherman, and where have you been fishing among others ?}
“ I have  been fly fishing since 40 years and have fished in many Countries: Italy (of course), Austria, Yugoslavia, Germany, Switzerland, Scotland  about 20 years for Salmon, British Columbia manly for Steel Head. I was forgetting to say that I have fished the River Glomma for 20 Years in the Kvennan area. ”

^{Why do you like river Glomma and the Kvennan Fly Fishing zone ?}
“ I like the Glomma 'cause is a wild river with plenty wild fish and Kvennan zone is well trained. ”

 ^{Can you tell something about the old days at river Glomma ?}
“ The fishing for me has always been super every time. It is a University for fly fishers.  ”

^{Did you catch any really big fish in Glomma ?}
“ My biggest Grayling was 56 cm. and biggest brown trout 59 cm. The biggest pike was around 1 meter. ”

^{What is your favourite dry fly ?} 
“ Sedges and may Fly (olives imitations) ”

^{What is your favourite nymph ?} 
“ I like to fish with a copper nymph and a black one. ”

^{How long leader do you use, and how thick is your tippet ?}
“ Usually I use 12 foot leader size 16/18”

 ^{Do you loose a lot of fish when fishing without a barb on your hook ?}
 “ Much less than with barb hooks ”

^{What do you think about the new rules & regulations ?}
“ For fly fishing only of course I agree, I'm a fly fisherman, but there must be possibilities for the others fishermen. Fishing is beautiful and every one must fish the way they like. The bag limit I would prefer 2/3 fish per day. Ok for the size. The barbless hook should be a must.”

 ^{What should be your best advice for a fellow Glomma fly fisherman ?} 
“ Fish all the time. There are fish feeding all day and night and the Glomma is one of the most beautiful wild rivers left. ”

^{What should be your best advice for river management ?}
“ That people should not kill 30/60 fish like years ago. Look after the Killers. ”
