The torrent La Lima, was born near Abetone and ending his race, about 40 km., Flowing waters of the Serchio Fornoli locations. Its waters are many forms of life, there are many species of caddisflies, mayflies and stone flies. As for fish, there are chub, barbel, blue bream, but mainly brown trout, as well as some rare trout macrostigma.
The potential of La Lima, is mortified by various negative factors, such as the presence of numerous dams, excessive fishing pressure el'indiscriminato taking of fish even in the extent permitted by law. It is also noted the use of techniques and baits are prohibited. To this must then add the poaching and the presence of some paper mills along the creek.

In summer you can even find the stretches of river completely dry (between La Lima and sheds Cutigliano). With a few targeted measures, the Torrente La Lima could make the most out of their waters.This merely requires that dams release a more consistent flow of water and to ensure the vital minimum flow required by law. Would also be needed: a greater presence of guards and the establishment of fisheries in some parts of the system particularly fisheries.Shortly thereafter we would have an increase in the average size of catches, which currently does not exceed 20-22 cm, while the richness of its waters, suggests many other possibilities.The section that we recommend is that in correspondence to the Terms of Tana although a few kilometers upstream of Bagni di Lucca, the stream begins to make itself attractive to the fly.
