A Quick Guide to Fly Fishing in Slovenia

Why Choose Slovenia for Fly Fishing?

Slovenia is a hidden gem for fly fishing enthusiasts. Nestled in the Adriatic corner, the country offers a picturesque backdrop for a fishing trip. With its fast alpine rivers, classic chalk streams, and calm lakes, Slovenia has something for every angler. The mountain-fed waters remain cold throughout the summer, ensuring the fish are always active and hungry.

What Can You Catch?

1. Marble Trout: The star of Slovenian fly fishing, Marble Trout is a rare species found mainly in the northern Adriatic coast rivers.

2. Huchen: Also known as “Danube Salmon,” these fish can grow to over 4 feet and are a close relative of the legendary Taimen of Mongolia.

3. Brown Trout: A classic catch in Slovenia, these fish are abundant in rivers and lakes across the country.

4. Grayling: Found in various mountain rivers, Grayling is a fun catch, known for its tall dorsal fin and dramatic color variations.

5. Rainbow Trout: Though not native to Slovenia, Rainbow Trout have become a popular catch in rivers all around the country.

Top Fly Fishing Spots in Slovenia

1. Soča River: Known for its Marble Trout, Grayling, and Rainbow Trout, this river is a classic alpine river.

2. Unica River: A favorite chalk stream fishery, it offers incredible dry fly fishing for Grayling and Brown Trout.

3. Sava River: This river runs for over 600 miles and offers some of Europe’s best Grayling fishing.

4. Krka River: Characterized by its green moss pools, Krka is a languid river with waters full of Graylings.

5. Idrijca River: This river is a fantastic place to catch Marble Trout and offers a mixture of freestone and chalk streams.

Tips for Fly Fishing in Slovenia

1. When to Go: While most anglers visit in the summer, Grayling actually bites best in the autumn.

2. Fishing License: Different rivers and lakes require specific licenses, which can usually be purchased online or through guide services.

3. Equipment: A 9’–9’6” 5 wt rod with a matching reel and floating line is a good all-rounder. For large Marble Trout or Huchen, switch to an 8 wt.

Absolutely incredible. Started the day on the Soca and quickly moved on to the Tolminka. After a hike, Branko found us a hole filled with more than fifteen 40-80cm rainbow and marble trout. Sight fishing at its best. Fished that spot the whole day as it was such madness and no need to move. The feeling of watching a trout take my dry fly in crystal clear water then hooking and landing it is amazing. The fishing won't always be so hot, but i highly recommended you call these guys now as it was the highlight of my trip to Europe.

Very friendly guides! Very helpful and accommodating. 3 days of fly fishing at beautiful locations throughout Slovenia. Fishing was fantastic and wrist couldn’t take anymore from large Brown and Rainbows Trout. Guides knew water and knew proper technique to trigger strikes from pressured fish. Service helped arrange rental car and lodging. None better!!!

I went fishing on the Soca River with the help of Fishing Guides Slovenia during early July 2021 and had the experience of a lifetime. The whole day went perfect, the fishing was simply fantastic and the scenery of the Soca River made the whole trip worth it. My guide, Ziga, was a expert when it came to fishing and knew exactly what to do to catch fish all day long, as well as a very nice person. Mitja, the gentlemen who helped set up the fishing trip, was extremely kind and helpful throughout the process of getting everything in order and made sure the day went smoothly. I will definitely be back to fish more with these guys and I highly recommend the same to anybody interested in catching big Slovenian fish.

Fly fishing in Slovenia with guides Žiga and Timotej has been a absolute delight. These guy’s know what they are talking about. They will spot the fish and can tell you how to catch it, be it dry, nymph, streamer or French nymping and can assist you with everything you need. Great catches on some of Europe’s most beautiful rivers and excellent company. Highly recommended!
