Description
The Unica’s journey begins on the southern edge of one of the best-preserved Karst plateaus, the confluence of the Pivka and Malenščica. This beautiful chalk stream winds its way across the Planinsko polje valley and offers exceptional fishing conditions. Between autumn and late spring, The Unica floods the valley, providing lush reserves of food to its fish population. This river is most famous for Grayling, but the Brown Trout can also be caught in its waters.
Your fishing adventure begins in the morning, when our local guide will take you to the best fishing areas on the river. In the morning hours, the Grayling is still relatively shy, so your target species will be Trout. Come afternoon, you’ll be hunting for the exquisitely colourful Grayling. Breaks for refreshment and food will be had to recharge your batteries in wake of fresh battles with the fish that live in the Unica. The fishing trip can last all day or half a day, depending on your preference.
Fish
The Grayling is one of Europe’s most popular fly-fishing species, which has seen quite a steep decline in population around the continent. But do not threat, this fish is well-preserved in Slovenia’s waters. Although an increasing number of 50 cm Grayling have been reported in recent years, the minimum size catch measures 45 cm. Characterised by their colourful dorsal fin, Grayling prefer to swim in calmer sections of rivers and fishing with the use of an artificial fly makes it a perfect catch throughout the mid-May to end of October season.
Season: Ordinary Grayling: April 1st – November 30th (Soča river April 1st – November 30th)
Adriatic Grayling: May 16th – November 30th
Slovenian record: 63 cm
As Slovenia’s most widespread Trout species, the Brown Trout can be caught at sizes ranging from 25 (min. size) to 50 cm. It’s mainly found in upper and middle reaches of rivers and streams, Karst waters being home to the largest. This wonderful fish’s colour patterns can vary between dark grey, copper-red, olive green, or yellow-brown, sprinkled with red, white and black spots. The Brown Trout is a beauty that can be found in most popular fishing spots around Slovenia. The fishing season runs from March to November.
Season: March 1st – September 30th
Fishing guides
I graduated in forestry engineering, but fishing has been a passion of mine since I was 3 years old when my dad first took me fishing. I enjoy all types of fishing techniques, but for the past 20 years I have focused mainly on fly fishing and spin fishing. Nymphing is still my favourite. I’ve gained my experience while fishing on practically every Slovenian river and lake. I’m fluent in English and German.
