Slovenia is a small Eastern European country roughly the size of New Jersey and is boardered by Italy to the west and Austria to the North. The Northwestern part of the country is very mountanous. Here the jagged Julian Alps rise high above the turbulent, turqouise waters of the Soca and its tributaries. Home to the Marble Trout (largest stream dwelling trout in the world), European Grayling, and trophy Rainbow Trout, the Soca and its tributaries offer world class fishing in one of the most breathtaking mountain ranges in the world.

As you head south into central and southern Slovenia the mountains gradually fade into rolling hills and pastures. This highly forested landscape is divided by numerous rivers, from the largest river in the country (Sava) to the countless smaller chalk streams and spring creeks (Unica and Krka). In these rivers you will find the Hucho (relative of the Mongolian Taimen), European Grayling, Native Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, Northern Pike and Carp. With so many unique game fish, beautiful scenery, fantastic food, and a strong and unique culture, its easy to see why fly fishing Slovenia is a must!
