Fly fishing in Slovenia
We organize guided fly fishing tours around the surrounding area of our capital city Ljubljana, on rivers like the slow green marsh beauty Ljubljanica, the mysterious Bistra whose springs come from under an old castle, or the small clear Iška which flows through the picturesque Iška gorge …
We also organize guided tours to our most beautiful and well known rivers across Slovenia, like Soča and Idrijca, with its renowned marble trout, the river Unica which is one of the best grayling rivers in Europe, the karst beauty Krka with its famous cascades made out of travertine, or the cool mountain beauties Radovna, Bohinjka, Tržiška Bistrica and many more. We are certain, that we can find something for everyone, from the beginner making his first casts, to the most experienced angler. In Slovenia the fly fishing season starts in 1st of March and ends in 30th of November (depending on the river and region).
