Hi, there is a fishing shop in Ruzomberok, called Thymallus, you should be able to Google it or use Google maps etc, they will supply the permits. You need a Slovak state license, then an Individual license for the stretch you want to fish, in this case Grayling C&R, cheers, Robert

Totally agree, wonderful fish especially on the Dry Fly, they really teach you to fish, if you are catching Grayling you'll easily catch trout. They thrive in some Slovak rivers, long may it continue as it is an indication of the health of those rivers. Going to watch your France episode to check out the fishing there, cheers, Robert

@flyfishingslovakia7872Ай бұрын
Hi, I have fished all 3 parts, Bohinjka Bistrica Club, Institute stretch and Bled Club. I would say each is different but all fish well. The part in this Video is the Institute Stretch, it belongs to the Government and not a club, as you can see the pools are wide and fairly easy access, there are wild fish and stocked fish, very good Grayling and Rainbows, there are browns but not too easy to catch. For your 1st time I would recommend this stretch. This year I already have 6 permits for the Bohinjka Bistrica club water and will fish there. It’s much smaller and fast pools, still easy access but sometimes it’s technically challenging to catch fish as it’s a bit more wild with trees lining the banks and I want to learn all the pools and areas to fish there. The Bled club water is also very good, some areas and pools are easy access, but it also has many areas that are Canyon pools, very fast and tricky, to fish these requires a bit of fitness and tough walking. It does have good pools but you will find a lot of anglers on these stretches as it’s probably the most popular and closest to Bled. It also has a 1km Trophy beat which you buy a special permit to fish, but personally I didn’t fish it as it can take up to 10 anglers, and the normal bled water has enough trophy fish if you can catch them, I hope this helps you, regards, Robert

Hi Samuel, I use my 3 weight Orvis Superfine line, which is very light and easy to keep off the water, it also allows me to switch between Nymph and Dry Fly. When Nymphing, I use a long leader, with a 5ft light line Polyleader which attaches to the fly line. I did use a Nymph line but I lost a few big fish on it, there is almost no stretch on this type of line so in my case the fish could easily snap the leader. I will use it when fishing smaller rivers, but will use the normal fly line when I fish for bigger fish, cheers, Robert

Why stock rainbow trout in that stream?
@flyfishingslovakia787214 күн бұрын
Hi, Sorry,just noticed the comment and never got back to you. In Slovenia, some rivers do stock Rainbows, and have done so for the last 100 years. You also catch lots of small fingerling Rainbows, perfectly finned, so they breed in a lot of the rivers. In Slovdnia its not common to stock Brown trout, as they breed with the Native Marble trout and pollute the Marble trout stock, so the clubs can't or wont stock brown trout, they stock with Rainbows to prevent creating Hybrid trout. So I think it became common practise to only stock with Rainbows, even in those rivers that don't have Marble trout, cheers, Robert

@flyfishingslovakia787214 күн бұрын
In some cases yes, but they have been stocking for a long time and you still get rivers full of Rainbows and Brown's, so it seems to be balanced. There are rivers with no stocking at all, there are a lot of Brown trout only waters, and also some where there is mixed stock but above a certain height you only get Brown's. Those rivers have permit splits, and those that want only Brown's can buy a permit to fish there. They limit the amount of permits per day,maybe only 4, and this maintains the stock. Also, in a lot of the rivers there is a major predator, Huchen (Taimen), and they do eat a lot of Rainbows, I have watched them chasing and catching the Rainbows. The Government authorities monitor and approve stocking and any impact to local native species, and they would definitely intervene if they thought it had an impact to the native species. Cheers, Robert

SAVA B. Vs Vah, both are fantastic rivers, I of course love the Vah and I spend more time on it and I think it has better trout fishing and bigger fish, but for a lot of the year the fish are so well fed that they are difficult to catch, very challenging. On the Sava B., being a true Alpine river, they fish are more inclined to take your fly as they have less to eat. Also, the Sava B. Has a lot more types and depths of pools to fish, and water clarity is fantastic. To finish, the Vah is an unreliable river due to the water height controlled by the Dam at Besenova. Revuca is still my favourite river and I would fish it first out of all the rivers I fish, cheers, Robert
