Start of the Fly fishing season for all who have been nervously waiting at home and dreaming about wetting a line and catching the first trout of the year.

April
April is one of the busiest months when it comes to Fly fishing in Slovenia. Even those who had second thoughts about fishing in March, now hop into their waders and fish their favorite rivers, which are now open across Slovenia (except Unica, it opens 1.5). Water temperature is rising, and so is the fish activity. Life by the river is waking up from cold, dark winter, meaning more food in the river for hungry fish and more bites for the fish-hungry fishermen. Definitely one of the best months for Fly fishing in Slovenia.
