Pliva

ABOUT PLIVA |

The river Pliva is definitely one of the most beautiful rivers in Europe. Many fly fishing experts consider Pliva as top European water when it comes to grayling and trout fishing. One of the rare waters in Europe that remains gin-clear throughout the year, despite of weather conditions, and this is because there are no tributaries between the source of Pliva and lowland. It is a chalk river, ice cold, water temperature never exceeds 9 degrees Celsius. Beside its beauty, Pliva is also known to fisherman as a very demanding river, where fishing is done with long leaders & tippets, exceeding the 5m length. The gin-clear water requires that fishermen do their best to fish with precise imitation of natural insects. A gravely surface, with grass and weeds, Pliva provides excellent conditions for the insect life/ The average depth of Pliva is 1 to 1.5m, with the deepest part exceeding the 2m. The width of Pliva is between 5 and 20m, and the length of the LTG managed stretch is 6km. Pliva is rich in big grayling (specimen close to 60cm have been caught) and trout.

Una (Hucho Part)

ABOUT UNA |

Una belongs to the most beautiful rivers in Europe and is considered a pearl of Balkans. The mighty river arises in the National Park at the border area between Bosnia and Croatia. On its run, Una absorbs the waters of rivers Krka and Unac, and flows northly as a mighty river. Below Bihac, Una is rather deep, and in many places graylings and Danube Salmon are difficult to reach from the shore because the river has an immense dynamism. It is fast and often beyond 10 m deep. So, the best way to fish Una in and below the canyon is by boat. Fishing the river from the very narrow and breakable looking boats of the locals is possible, however it doesn't suit everyone. Many fishermen did not feel really safe while fishing and drifting with these unsafe floating devices, therefore the new Una Riverside Lodge that will open in March 2019 will address that by providing excellent boats for drifting the river and fishing the most famous pools of Una river. It is worth mentioning that the stretch from Martin Brod to Kulen Vakuf offers 25km of perfect flyfishing water, rich in trout and grayling, with wading being possible throughout its flow. In 2018, many huge trout between 70 to 85cm were caught in the flyfishing stretch. The width of Una goes from 20 to 60m.

  • Brown Trout 50%
