Hi Max.
For regulations they are the same apllying to lake Garda. You need a license (cheap), no scuba, no night hunting, float or buoy necessary, et cetera as specified for Lake Garda.
The visibility is quite short average, you will hunt with a 75cm bandgun and a short pneumatic. There are much more (and easier) tench in lake Como than in lake Garda, while pike and bass are quite rarely spotted. Another fish that you will quite probably find is the Walleye (it looks like between a pike and a perch). You will hunt between 0-15meters, better on kelp beds.
Now, important:
spearfishing is legal only in SOME limited spots.
Here's the the names of places where it's legal on lake Como (you will check them on any local map that's enough detailed):

In the Province of Como:

1- In the town of Musso: all the shoreline within the town limits
2- In the Town of San Siro: from Punta Gaeta to the uotput of the Serio river
3: In the town of Bellagio: from the boat dock at "Punta Spartivento" to the square at Pescallo village.
4 In the towns of Lenno and Tremezzo: from the Azzano boat dock to Balbianello
5-In the towns of Torno and Faggeto Lario: from the boat dock "Pliniana" to the Cantiere Mostes shipyard at Faggeto Lario.
6- In the towns of Cernobbio and Moltrasio: from teh stairway at punta di Pizzo to Villa Fontanelle.

As you see there's not much room for our sport in that Como lake, but anyway if you plan a family trip right there, it's worth bringing your gear and give it a try.


In the Province of Lecco

1- From the port of Parè to Malgrate
2- From Punta di Piona direction south till the warning plates
3- Town of Abadia Lariana Lariana; in a place called Prandello, from a discoteque called Orsa Maggiore direction north to the ex powerplant;
