Gaya fishing tourism and Bragosso in Caorle

In the heart of the lagoon

A journey through water, fishing and tradition

The Dalla Bella family created Gaya Fishing Tourism at Terzo Bacino. It can also be reached aboard the traditional motorised bragosso Pianedo, navigating for about two hours through the channels of Caorle’s eastern lagoon towards the border with Bibione, through the landscape that also inspired Ernest Hemingway.

The casoni, living lagoon heritage

The two traditional huts have timber frames covered in layers of marsh reeds. In late autumn they housed fishing families during the profitable fraima season. Since the late nineteenth century and through the Second World War, they have preserved the roots of three generations.
