Sava and tributaries

Sava Fly Fishing

The Sava River flows out of the Julian Alps, but starts its path disjointed with two forks that couldn’t be more different. The north fork called Sava Bohinjka starts its flow right from Bohinj Lake. And the east fork called the Sava Dolinka starts from the natural underground source called Zelenci. When they meet, at the confluence next to the town of Radovljica, they become Sava. From then on, the main branch receives a couple of really beautiful tributaries that are worth visiting with a fly rod in your hands. Known for excellent native brown trout fishing, and home to big grayling, this is a realm completely different than the Soča catchment.

SAVA BOHINJKA
As her waters exit Bohinj Lake, they gently weave through the romantic Bohinj Valley right until they reach the deep canyon between Pokljuka and Jelovica mountain plateaus. The water then flows past the famous Bled Lake and then meets the Sava Dolinka. Sava flyfishing Slovenia can be enjoyed along the entire length of this deep green river, and it produces beautiful rainbow trout, along with more-and-more scarce grayling and brown trout. Sava fly fishing is also often focused on the big huchen and it is no rarity to experience this beast charge after the smaller fish you still have on the hook…

SAVA DOLINKA
Starting her path at the dreamy Zelenci marsh, Sava Dolinka starts first as a tiny stream overgrown with vegetation. After receiving the first bigger tributary, it becomes a fast alpine river with long runs and pretty pools. Once downstream of the town of Jesenice (and its huge dam), it becomes largely affected by hydropeaking, but on some occasions even these part offers good fishing. The part of the valley next to Bled is truly wild and it will be hard to meet another fisherman on that section that is still home to some trophy grayling.

SAVA
The Sava is the longest Slovenian river and home to colossal huchen and massive rainbow trout and grayling. Being a big river it can be tricky to fish, so some help with choosing pools and tools helps. The variety the Sava offers can sure be something to remember. Sava fly fishing can be done from the town of Radovljica all the way to the city of Kranj and it offers a wide range of terrain that will satisfy even the most elite fishermen.

TRŽIŠKA BISTRICA
A proper little torrent with steep gradient and gorgeous brown trout. A paradise for anyone into light tackle and small dry flies or European Nymphing, this river will surprise you on every level. Road access is simple, but the water levels need to be low in order to be able to fish. Brown trout fishing in Slovenia is an experience not to be missed.

KOKRA
A mountain stream with crystal clear and ice cold water surrounded by thick forests and home to beautiful brown trout and the occasional grayling. Generous road access allows fishing access to numerous sections of the river in a single day and in this way you can explore the many options it provides.
