The Slovene rivers are definately worth it. You would have to travel to Montana to have a day of fishing as good. And the beer food, and people are worth all the effort.

Hello, Well rivers mentioned here , Sava Bohinjka, Soca etc. are good fishing destinations, although there are many other waters which are interesting and normaly hidden from foreigners. You can get all sorts of water here, from chalk streams to alpine creeks, big river, accumulation lakes, normal lakes, practicaly all species that can be cought on the fly in Europe. Rainbow, brown, marbel, unfortunatly also brook trout, grayling, chub, rudd, pike, zander, aspius aspius, nose carp etc. It depends on what kind of fishing do u want. Some waters are stocked, also with big fish and if you like that, you can fish them. I don't consider that as fishing, but some do. But there are also waters with almost no stocked fish and fishing those... it is great if you know what you are doing. Some people also like to target wild fish in well stocked waters, which is also succesfull, but it cna be a bit crowdy. If you like crawling over rocks as indian warrior with a reward being 30cm wild rainbow of brownie hidden under branches, it is also here. Take a map, look at waters, ask around if they are open (see links below) and where can you get a license and explore. Weather is relative thing, due to diverse landscape it is almost always possible to get a destination you can fish. If you have a guide, he/she should be aware of that. Some parts of diffrent waters are actually better if the water is high. For big wild fish, like brownies (not stocked ones), pikes etc., it is normaly actually better if the water is high, with some color, specially on heavily fished waters. Melting snow, i really don't understand why people are so scared of that. Even many Slovenes. It is normal to flyfish in such conditions during spring, true it can be hard, but it is normal during spring and it can be very succesfull. Fish don't stop eating. If you would like to exploit the whole fishing offered by Slovenia, bring everything from up to #10. For example if you don't worry about cost of daily licenses, you cna start a day with flyfishing for pike in the early morning, when the sun goes up you can target chubs/rudds/nose carps etc. on some other water and finish a day with grayling/trout on yet another. Small country, lots of diffrent waters, lots of diffrent species, lots of oppurtunities. If you need information on waters, you have two slovene flyfishing forums, and people there are helpfull: www.josko.org/phpbb2/index.phpwww.flyfishing.z42.us/forum/Here is also a forum of RD Tolmin (fishing club Tolmin), which manages part of Soca, Idrijca, Baca etc. It is a new one, they also have a section for foreigners: www.ribiska-druzina-tolmin.si/forum/Jure

There are actually two serious illnesis you can get from tics here. Meningitis and lyme boreliosa. I hear that some newspapers made a big panic about that in UK. Well they must sell, so they need sensations. Even if it is hot water. Cosue you get those also in Austria in Italy in Germany etc. etc., lvme boreliosa was actually found first in USA so you can get it there... Boreliosa normaly shows with characteristic mark on skin, where you were bitten and it is not hard to treat if discovered early. I think the panic in UK was over meningitis. Both are serious, if not treated, but as you can see, we are still alive over here:)

Thank you for reply jure, i should have realised that the media hype everything out of proportion, i did know about Lyme's disease because it is a factor anywhere there are wild deer including here in Ireland, but lucky enough it seems to be rarely contacted by anglers. one more point i do like your regulations barbless hooks and catch and release plus well enforced by your baliffs good fishing mutiny
