PERMITS, LICENSES, GUIDES, LODGES AND MORE INFORMATION FOR FISHING IN THE SOČA RIVER

«The Soča River is the most beautiful river for fly fishing lovers in Slovenia. Its emerald waters and its mysterious marble trouts are the great treasure of this European country»

Soča River is located in the west of Slovenia and next to it is our fishing lodge in Slovenia.
This river, characterized by the turquoise color of its waters, it has 138 kilometers long and it is born in the Trenta Valley, in the Julian Alps. The river runs alongside cities such as Bovec, Kobarid or Tolmin.
In the Valley of the Soča River is centered the story of the novel «Farewell to Arms» written by the Novel Prize Ernest Hemingway. It is also worth noting that it has been the scene to record well-known films like Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian by Disney.
But, if the Soca River is knowed in the world for some reason, it is because is considered to be the most spectacular river in the world for the practice of fly fishing. Can you imagine fishing large trout with a dry fly in an emerald blue river?

THE MISTERIOUS MARBLE TROUT
