About this water

Lim system in eastern Montenegro offers varied mountain-river fishing from small tributary streams to the larger main Lim. The Zlorečica tributary is specifically described as very cold and clear. Brown trout, grayling, and in places Danube salmon. Mixed geology: limestone karst with some metamorphic and volcanic rock. Daily zone permits from local sports clubs. Less internationally known than the Tara but with strong official backing.
