How to fish it · for Barbel
When
May–October (trout/grayling); 31 Oct–15 Feb (huchen)
Where
Both Sava headwaters — the Dolinka and the Bohinjka — are already in this pack, but the Sava proper, downstream of their confluence, was absent until now.
Why this works
Barbel: comfort conditions look perfect. In-season but not prime.
