A World-Class Destination for the Discerning Angler
Welcome to the Ribnik, a river so legendary it is known by fly fishers across the globe. This short, gin-clear chalk stream is a paradise for the sport, a “fly-only, catch-and-release” sanctuary teeming with wild grayling and brown trout. This is not just fishing; it is the art of fly fishing in one of its purest forms.
This guided experience is your key to unlocking the secrets of this incredible river. Whether you are an experienced angler looking to hunt for trophy grayling or a beginner wanting to learn the fundamentals in a world-class setting, our professional local guides will provide the expertise you need. Spend a day wading in the crystal-clear water, perfecting your cast, and connecting with the pristine nature of the Krajina.
The Challenge: What to Expect
The challenge of the Ribnik is a technical one. The clear water means the fish are wary, requiring skill, patience, and a delicate presentation of the fly. The experience can be tailored to all levels. For experts, it is a rewarding test of skill. For beginners, it is a fantastic place to learn the correct techniques from a master.

- A full day of guided fly fishing on a world-famous chalk stream.
