Soča |
Soča
The Soča runs
for 65.2 kilometers from its source in Trenta to the its confluence
with the stream Vogršček under the Doblar hydroelectric power plant’s
dam.
The first 10
km, to the Vrsnik stream, are breeding waters for the marble trout
and typical trout waters, with numerous rapids and hidden pools.
The primary fish found here are: marble trout, marble trout crossbreeds,
brown trout, rainbow trout, river bull-head and from the confluence
with the Lepena stream, grayling as well.
 |
Soča |
From Čezsoča
to the confluence with the Vogršček, the Soča belongs to the fishing
zone. Here the water varies, from the gentle current in the Bovec
basin it enters a stretch of deep gorges and rapids below Srpenica.
As it reaches Kobarid the flow becomes gentler again and winds its
way slowly towards Tolmin.
Below Kobarid
several more species become common: chub, barbel, blageon, minnow,
barbus m. caninus and a few tench. The Italian crayfish is
common throughout this whole section as well.

Soča
at Kobarid |
After joining
with the Tolminka, the Soča enters the Doblar dam accumulation lake.
The lake stretches some 7 km to the dam in Podselo. In its depths
live the largest marble trout as well as numerous other fish.
From the dam
to the Vogršček stream, where it leaves our sector, the Soča covers
some 1.3 impoverished kilometers, as much of its water is run down
pipes to the power plant, leaving a mostly empty river bed. |

Nadiža |
Učja
The Učja enters from Italy and covers 6.1 km before
it enters the Soča. It is a swift alpine river, but very inaccessible.
Access is somewhat easier only at the country border and near its
confluence, below Žaga. Its waters contain trout, river bull-head
and grayling near the confluence. |

Nadiža
 |
Nadiža |
The Nadiža makes
a 11.9 km loop through Slovenia from its sources in Italy, before
returning there. Till below Sedlo it is hidden in a narrow valley
full of rapids and deep pools. Beyond, however, it enters a widening
gravelly valley and almost disappears in its own deep gravel deposits
below Robic. It’s waters
are inhabited by all species of trout, grayling, river bull-head
and large numbers of all the species of whitefish found in our waters
– chub, Italian barbel, blageon, barbus m. caninus, minnow
as well as Italian crayfish. |

Bela
Its source is under the hill Stol, above Breginj, and
it covers 4.7 km before entering the Nadiža by Podbela. Its flow was
almost completely regulated in the 1930s – split up by numerous barriers.
Below them deep pools developed while above them gravelly shallows
remained. The first kilometer of the Bela is breeding water, while
the rest is open for fishing. It contains all species of trout, numerous
river bull-heads and Italian crayfish. In its lower regions one can
find grayling and some whitefish as well. |

 |
Tolminka |
Tolminka
Its source is in Polog, an alpine valley below Bogatin.
It has carved its course towards the Soča through a narrow valley,
sometimes through steep canyons, which are at their most spectacular
in the section of the gorges of the Tolminka. When it leaves them
it enters the Tolmin basin, where it slows and enters the Soča below
Bucenica. Its entire 10.2 km length is open to fishing, save for the
section of the gorges. The Tolminka
contains all species of trout and river bull-head. Near Tolmin it
is also home to grayling and the occasional chub. |

Idrijca |
Idrijca
The Idrijca enters the Tolmin fishing sector in the
village of Stopnik. It is a river with a more pronounced karst character
and typical greenish color. Till Trebuša it runs between heavily forested
banks, through deep pools, rapids and overflows. At Trebuša its current
slows somewhat and gravel deposits appear. The pools are still long
and deep, especially those by Slap ob Idrijci, only the overflows
and rapids are slower and gentler. By Bača pri Modreju it enters the
Doblar dam accumulation lake and enters the Soča near Most na Soči.
 |
Idrijca
at Stopnik |
Its entire 16.2
km length is open to fishing. All the species of fish found in the
Tolmin fishing sector can be found here: all species of trout, grayling,
river bull-head, chub, schools of Italian barbel, barbus m. caninus,
blageon, minnow and fresh-water crayfish. |
|
Trebuščica
 |
Trebuščica |
Its source is
under Mrzla Rupa and from there it covers 14 km before entering the
Idrijca in Trebuša. The top 5.7 km are a preserve and breeding waters
for the marble trout. The remaining 8.3km is open to anglers. The
valley through which it runs is narrow, but numerous smaller gravel
deposits allow crossings near deep pools and past cascades and rapids.
All species of trout inhabit it, and large marble trout often enter
it to spawn, as well as grayling, river bull-head and whitefish –
especially barbus m. caninus, blageon and chub – in the lower
reaches. |

Bača
 |
Bača |
The Bača river
winds for 21.4 km through the narrow valley of Baška Grapa, from below
Slatnik and Lajnar towards the Idrijca which it joins in Bača pri
Modreju. Along its course it is constantly accompanied and crossed
by both the road and railroad. The uppermost three kilometers are
breeding waters for the marble trout, with the remainder being fishing
waters, which is divided into two sections by the dam in Klavže. The
upper part is inhabited by all species of trout, save the rainbow
trout, as well as river bull-head, some grayling and whitefish – barbus
m. caninus, blageon and minnow – as well as numerous crayfish.
In the lower part the rainbow trout is also present and the grayling
is more common. |

Koritnica
(baška)
 |
Baška
Koritnica |
This is a small
river that forms from several streams below the village of Rut and
runs for 4.7 km before entering the Bača river in the village of Koritnica.
Its banks are heavily wooded and its current is very swift. Just above
the village of Koritnica it drops steeply into the Bača valley. It
is inhabited by the river bull-head and all species of trout, except
for the rainbow trout. |
|
Kneža
 |
Kneža |
The Kneža is a
typical alpine stream, which collects its waters between Vogel and
Rodica and courses its way down a narrow valley towards the Bača river,
which it joins between Kneža and Klavže. It runs for 8.3 km. Its entire
course is fishing water and inhabited by all species of trout except
rainbow trout. The river bull-head is also present. |
