Not the day for it
River dropping into shape after a lift. Not much stacked in your favour today. Worth an hour if you are nearby, not worth the special trip.

About this water

A small, fly-only Pohorje stream out of Ruše — acidic-tending, wooded, and about as far from the limestone west as Slovenian trout fishing gets. Brown trout and grayling with some rainbow. Not a destination water on its own, but a genuine change of character worth having in the pack.
