Lake Carpentiere (aka Carpenteria)
Carpenteria is Sportyland’s first fishing lake (in 2006 a second lake will be opened, 25.000 m²). Thanks to its horseshoe shape, it holds 30 posts for carpfishing and 100 posts for regular fishing. In Carpenteria lake there are not only carp, but also tench, catfish, sturgeon and, in winter, trout. For each of these species, we use no-kill treatments: after fishing, a nice snap with our finned friends, and they will go back to the lake!
Feeding and fishing with brugs and coarse-grained baitsare not allowed on our lake.
Fares and schedules
Carpenteria’s access is reserved to ACSI (Italian Sport Centers Association) members and it is subjected to payment, and there are various forms of reduction and pass, depending on your age, your team’s members, as well as fidelity discounts for our most-fond-of visitors.These are our timetables and fares :
5 euro regardless of the number of rods used (max 3 rods are allowed)
5 euro regardless of the number of rods used (max 3 rods are allowed)
5 euro regardless of the number of rods used (max 3 rods are allowed)
It is possible to reserve a place for the whole day, since 8.30 a.m. to 9 p.m. The price is the same: 5 EURO regardless of the number of rods used (max 3 rods are allowed).
Types of fish
Carp
One of the biggest in the freshwater fish family, it can measure more than 1m in length and usually weights around 20 kg.
Carp are native of East Europe and Asia, and find in Italy their own habitat in the lakes and canals of the reclamation time.
They love calm water with clayey bottoms and with an abundant vegetation.
They are omnivore: they feed on fresh vegetation and invertebrates of the bottom.
Other species: carpa regina (Italian branch), herbivorous carp (amur)
Fishing techniques: carpfishing
Baits: corns, boiles
Best fishing time: Spring to Fall

Catfish
They are native of North America, where they reach great dimensions, whereas in Italy they rarely measure over 40 cm in length. Despite living in all the main waterways of our territory and in the reclamation canal, they are decreasing lately. They thrive mainly in warm and stagnant water, with clayey bottoms and rich in vegetation where they feed on little invertebrates, other fish’s roe and tadpoles.
Fishing techniques: Bolognese, bottom fishing
Baits: medium size earthworms, pieces of dead fish. Best fishing time: June to October

Sturgeon
They are migratory fish: they climb up the river mouths at the end of the winter, so as to reach the perfect place where to reproduce themselves. They are quite big (till 6 m in length and 1 quintal for a common sturgeon).
Because of the presence of some barriers in the streams their migration –so their reproduction- is difficult. This is the reason why sturgeon are scarcely present in Italy but in captivity, in some artificial fishing lakes, and a strict a no-hunt regulation is forever applied outside no kill areas. The sturgeon feeds on mollusks and on little fish of the bottom.
Other species : Corbice, definitely smaller than the common sturgeon (1.5 m in length, 20 kg in weight)
Fishing techniques : no-kill carpfishing

Tench
Typical of calm streams, can reach 1.5 m in length and 3kg in weight. Despite the fact that this habitat is typical of Venice, they have decreased in population. Tench are omnivore: they live on small animals or soft vegetable substances, which they root up from the bottom.
Fishing techniques : angling, Bolognese, bottom fishing
Baits: grubs, earthworms
Best fishing time : da giugno a ottobre.

Trout
Two species of trout can be mostly found in Italy: Iridea (North America) and Fario, both of them reaching 60cm in length. Trout are often raised on fish farms and planted into heavily fished waters, or sport fishing lakes, although they try to populate some mountain cold waters.
Fishing techniques : Bolognese, Roubaisienne
Baits: earthworms, grubs, salmon roe, fly lure
Best fishing time: end of September to Spring
