Sava and tributaries

On the north side of Julian Alps the waters flow into the main river Sava. Commencing it’s path disjointed two forks couldn’t have been more different. Sava Bohinjka starts it’s flow right from the Bohinj Lake and Sava Dolinka from the marsh called Zelenci. When they meet, at the confluence next to the town of Radovljica, they become Sava. From then on the main branch receives a couple of really beautiful tributaries that are worth visiting with a flyrod in your hands. Home to big Grayling and native Brown Trout, this is a realm completely different that the Soča catchment.

SAVA BOHINJKA
As her waters exit the Bohinj Lake, they gently weave through the romantic Bohinj valley right untill they reach the deep canyon between Pokljuka and Jelovica mountain plateau. Once past it, they pass the famous Bled Lake and then soon meet Sava Dolinka at the confluence. The entire length of this deep green river can be fished and it produces beautiful Rainbow Trout, next to more and more scarce Grayling and Brown Trout. This is home to big Huchen and it is no rarity to experience this beast charge after the fish you just hooked…

SAVA DOLINKA
Starting her path at the dreamy Zelenci marsh it is first a tiny stream overgrown with vegetation. After receiving the first bigger tributary, it becomes a fast alpine river with long runs and scarce pools. Once downstream the industrial town of Jesenice and it’s huge dam, it becomes largely effected by hydropeaking, but at some occasions even this part offers good fishing. The part of the valley next to Bled is truly wild and it will be hard to meet another fisherman on that section that is still home to some trophy Grayling.

SAVA
Sava is the longest Slovenian river and home to collosal Huchen and really big Rainbow Trout and Grayling. Being a big river it can be tricky to fish, but when the day is right and you find active fish, it can sure be something to remember. It can be fished from the town of Radovljica all the way to Kranj and it offers a wide range of terrain that will satisfy even the most delicate fishermen.

TRŽIŠKA BISTRICA
A proper little torrent with steep gradient and gorgeous Brown Trout. Paradise for anyone into light tackle and small dry flies or European Nymphing, this river will surprise you on every level. Road access is simple, but the water levels need to be low in order to be able to fish.

KOKRA
Mountain stream with crystal clear and ice cold water surrounded by thick forests is home to beautiful Brown Trout and an occasional Grayling. Generous road access enables you to fish numerous sections of the river in a single day and this way explore the options it provides.
