The Fishing Museum, an outdoor section of the Malcantone Museum, is located in Caslano. The new location opened in 2010 directly overlooks the lake near the town square. The exhibit illustrates the evolution of fish through fossils and preserves stuffed specimens of all species currently found in Ticino. Fish farming and stocking of rivers and lakes, professional net fishing, sport fishing, fly fishing and casting are also explained. All is documented with rich collections of lures, tools and accessories. There are also sections devoted to poaching and fish in ancient and modern coins and medals. In Madonna del Piano, along the Tresa River there is also a fishermen's hut from the eel fishery. On the ground floor in addition to the large multimedia room there is a rich library.
