Slow going — pick your moments
River temperature is the limiting factor today, not the flow. Fish dawn or dusk if you go at all, and handle everything with extra care.

Seasons & zones
  • Trout 1 March30 September
  • Grayling 16 May30 November

    Slovenian common default: grayling 16 May – 30 November (lipan). Slovenia is permit and fishing district controlled — dates may vary by specific water. Always check the Ribiška Družina (fishing district) permit for the specific beat. The Soča, Idrijca, and Sava system hold world-class grayling alongside marble trout.
