My fly fishing addiction started quite early for me. Since the early age of ten my father had been regularly taking me and my younger brother fly fishing on one of the best European chalk streams, the river Unica. There I have made my first casts and also have caught my first fish with a dry fly. Since then, fly fishing has always had a huge impact on my life. I cannot explain my feelings when I am standing by a river, pursuing trout, grayling or some other fish. Maybe it is something like visiting a church for some; it lets me connect with everything - from my life, my own thoughts to the nature. With years I got really involved with fly fishing and a few years back I also set my mind to it, that fly fishing is something that I really want to do "professionally" for the rest of my life. As a big nature lover, conservationists and supporter of sustainable fishing I first got involved in my local Angling Club Vrhnika, where I am a member of the environmental group and also an angling warden.

In the more recent years I have also established my own guiding services Urko Fishing Adventures, where we offer and promote amazing opportunities for fly fishing on the best rivers in Slovenia, with some unique and rare fish species as the Marble trout and the Danube salmon (Hucho Hucho). Being a guide also gives me the opportunity to promote and share my beliefs or let’s say my ethics on how a modern fly fisher should act on the river and how he handles his catch to minimize its stress as much as possible. And did I forget to mention that I also love to take photos of my fishing adventures, too? I am definitely not a professional with a camera, but I do manage to occasionally get some shots right! ;)

Uroš is a founder of Urko Fishing Adventures, a Fisheries Research Institute of Slovenia backed guide, Keepemwet ambassador, Flyfish Europe pro guide and Beulah Europe pro guide.

He is our greatest weapon when fishing for Huchen and Pike. As a long time member, fishing guardian and vice president of the Angling Club Vrhnika, the river Ljubljanica is like a second home to him. He is an avid fisher with no fishing technique unknown to him. Loves fly fishing, but his greatest passion is fishing for Huchen.

​Started fishing at a young age. Fly fishing with his father and brother gave him a lot of great memories and the love for fly fishing persists and stays strong still to this day. Loves the unspoiled nature and beauty of Slovenian rivers and the intimacy one can achieve while casting a fly. Always in a good mood and happy to help people make their own "memories of a life time".
