The Unica river is a unique fly fishing district which is well known all around the world by its fascinating beauty, large graylings and browns. Legend of fly- fishing Edgar Pitzenbauer said it was one of his favourites. Unica is a typical chalkstream which runs through unspoiled nature offering a great scenery. But it is also full of fish because there is plenty of food in the water so they grow faster then anywhere else.
The Unica river , with its surrounding countryside, is without doubt the most beautiful chalk stream of continental Europe. Its winding paths, unaltered by the hand of man, meanders through meadows, which in summer become carpets of flowers, many of them botanical rarities.
Y recommend that all fishermen pay a visit to the sources of this fabulous stream, the swift Malenscica and the powerful Pivka along with the natural caves which are unique in Europe. In spring the Unica often floods the surrounding meadows forming a shallow lake affording plenty of food for all types of fish. Before the introduction of grayling, the Unica was famed throughout Europe for the abundance of large trout.

Some of these trout show signs of the strain of marble trout stocked in the river many years ago. It is true to say that the trout of the Unica are amongst the most beautiful in Slovenia, both in size and color. The Unica is justly famed for its prolific insect life, large hatches of mayfly occur at the end of May and continue for some duration. Sedges and stoneflies also hatch in very large numbers.
