The most popular trip in the opinion of our guests who return to Slovenia the second time because they realised on their first visit that one day’s fishing just isn’t enough.
During this holiday, you’ll be able to cover 3 different rivers with many different locations, or if you like, fish on one particular river for the whole duration of the trip and increase your chances to catch the desired fish.

We will take care for everything, from guiding to accommodation and the other things you might have to deal with on your holidays.
If you’re travelling by plane, equipment rental is also possible.

Fish

Marble Trout

Marble trout is the biggest and the most iconic species of Trout in Slovenia, while also being the rarest. It almost disappeared because of the introduction of Brown Trout into the same water and the subsequent hybridization of the two but was preserved with repopulation and careful supervision. It is only found in the river Soča and its tributaries, with the average catch 30-70 cm long, all the way up to 130 cm.

Grayling

Grayling is one of the most popular European fly-fishing species since it mostly feeds on insects and could be quite picky with them. It’s not the biggest fish but is certainly amongst the most beautiful, especially since male Graylings have a colorful flag-like dorsal fin. It grows to a minimum of 45 cm with the largest in Slovenia being caught at 63 cm long.

Brown Trout

The brown trout is a classic fly-fishing species, that every fly-fisher already knows. It’s the most widespread fish in Slovenia and can be found in most of our waters. Its size ranges from 25 to 80 cm, with the largest found in the Karst rivers like Unica. Its yellow-brown, olive green, dark grey or copper red body is sprinkled with red and sometimes black or white spots.

I am fishing since I was 3 years old and with age, my passion for fishing only got bigger. As a kid, I was learning about many fishing techniques, but with time, fly and spin fishing have become my favorite ways to spend time by the water. I spend more than 100 days in a year fishing on various venues, hence I know most of the rivers, creeks and lakes in Slovenia. My 3 favorite places are Soča, Sava Bohinjka and Idrijca. Nymphing is my number one technique I’m implementing whenever I can. I’m fluent in English and German.

I’ve been fishing since I was 6. My favourite kind of fishing in young age was lake fishing, for carp and other lake species. Later, when I discovered the art of fly fishing, this technique took over and I’ve been a passionate fly fishing angler ever since. In my fishing career I’ve visited the majority of Slovenian rivers. As a competitor in the National fly fishing championship I’ve gained many experience and fished in difficult conditions on pressured waters. My top 3 rivers are Idrijca, Savinja and Soča

There can be up to 3 people per guide, if there are more of you, your group will be assigned with 2 guides.

In case of rain we try to find a water that’s suitable for fishing, or postpone the trip. If there’s no other option, we return the money for the guiding.

You can bring all your equipment, not bring any at all or only bring some bits and pieces. We also provide the equiment rental service so we make it easier for you to plan your fishing in case you’re travelling by plane.

You will be assigned one of our guides, which are all experts on their fields, with years of experience in different waters across Slovenia. You can find out more about them in the guides section.

Fishing permits can be bought in a few bars or fishing shops by the river, but you cn also buy them online. However, we suggest you wait with the purchase of the licenses until the day of fishing and buy them together with a help of our guide. The prices of the fishing permits vary from 30 to 100€.

Of course, you can arrange with your guide to make one or more breaks in order to eat and drink. If you wish, you can also find a nearby restaurant and get a proper lunch, however in case you are fishing more remote locations it’s better to have some food and drink packed to go, so you just make a pause by the river.

Our guides always carry some flies around so you can buy them on the day of the fishing.

We can provide some proposals for you or make a reservation on your behalf.

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.

My second time in Slovenia Fly Fishing and another absolutely incredible experience. Organisation and communication with Mitja was perfect and guiding with Žiga absolutely aweseome. I caught countless of beautiful rainbows, browns, greyling and...Marmorata. 5 stars for this great experience. Tight lines - Karl.

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!

Thanks to Slovenia, and my guide Mitja for an unforgettable, absolutely great day of fishing. I am 49, fished my whole life and lots of different places. This trip will go into my top experiences without a doubt. We were on the fish in short time, and stayed on them for about 6 hrs. You could never take your eye off the float. I learned a lot, mostly due to the fact that Mitja had a lot of knowledge. Knowing when to move, where to move, even where to cast, he worked the entire time to keep us in the fish. You could not ask more from a guide. I would fish with him again anywhere, and anytime. Already looking into doing it again.

I had wanted to fly-fish in Slovenia for nearly 25 years and now at last my sweetheart and I had the chance to do so. It was superb - all we had hoped for and more. The scenery is even more mesmerizing than the online photos suggest, the flowing waters are lovely and all we visited contained good populations of fish (bigger for the size of the water than where we usually fish in North America), and the guiding was superb. The streams had been swollen due to rains but Ziga made excellent choices for three days running, put us on to fish right away (a nice rainbow came on the third cast), and we each also caught Marmorata trout. Some of the pools looked like trout-filled aquariums - even the smallest creeks had fish of 60-70 cm length. It was simply a superb experience. Mitga the company rep also helped greatly in making our whole visit to Slovenia happen to begin with, and stayed in continuous touch. The big test is always: Would we go back? Our answer: YES!!!
