The Sava Bohinjka river is an Alpine river which flows from Lake Bohinj, runs through a narrow valley which in places becomes a ravine and joins the Sava Dolinka at Radovljica. In keeping with its Alpine character, it is predominantly inhabited by salmonid fish: brown trout, grayling and rainbow trout.
Over the last few years, the share of salmon has been increasing, since they can find not only enough food in the river, but also good hiding places in the numerous deep pools. A healthy river bottom gives fish an ample selection of water insects and other food.'
The fish are therefore healthy and discriminating, and, taking into account the well-preserved natural environment, it is no wonder that some guests choose to visit only the Sava Bohinjka river. Where fishermen will go on the Sava Bohinjka depends on the season and the type of fish they wish to catch.
In cold months at the beginning and end of the fishing season it is better to look for calmer areas and fish with sinker lures and wet fly lures. During the major spawning which is limited to the months of June and July on the Sava Bohinjka, fish are very active and finding the right spot is not difficult.'
The Sava Bohinjka is a highly valued river for fly fishing. The only allowable method of sports fishing is fly fishing - fishing with a fly-fishing pole and one artificial fly lure. The use of fish hooks without barbs is obligatory. The allowable daily catch is three salmonids, of which only one may be grayling.
