Among the different types of sport fishing, fly fishing is the most popular in Slovenia. Slovenian fishermen have been fly-fishing for over a hundred years.
Of the first artificial flies that appeared in the world, some are originally from Slovenia.
Many fly-fishers are familiar with the behmova košatica (Behm's Fliege) which has its roots in our area.
Numerous species of freshwater fish live in these rivers with different shades of green. Slovenia promotes “catch and return” fishing.
