Impressed by Slovenia and its pristine nature and rivers Marina Gibson will visit this country once again on September 7, accompanied by the Fly Fishing Nation, the leading content creation and expedition scouting group in the world of fly fishing. As  a part of the tourist product Green Adventure Fish & Fly Trio, she will visit some of the best Slovenian fishing destinations. Green Adventure Fish & Fly Trio is a premuim tourist product, awarded by Slovenian Tourist Organization. It offers a top fly-fishing experience at 3 different fishing destinations, including the “hidden gems” of Slovenia. It sets a “triple challenge”: to catch 3 indigenous fish species within 3 days; the grayling in Kolpa River, the brown trout in Krka River and the marble trout in Soča River. The product is unique of its kind in Slovenia and is carried out throughout the entire year — even in the winter, when the fishermen will try to outwit the danube salmon (hucho hucho) — the king of Slovenian waters. It also includes the superb local culinary experiences from 3 different hospitality providers. For the adventure to be truly first-class, and as suggested by the name of the product, the guests will also experience  a helicopter flight from one fishing destination to the other, provided by Flycom Aviation.

You can follow the course of the visit daily on the website, Facebook and Instagram profile Green_Adventure_Slovenia.

The expert committee of Slovenian Tourist Board announced the three finalists of Snovalec 2020 — The Call for the Most Innovative Tourism Ideas — who stood out among the 44 ideas submitted. We are proud that our premium Green Adventure product, FISH & FLY TRIO, is one of them! The product is uniquely aimed at a growing number of fly-fishing enthusiasts, who search active leisure in unspoiled nature with experienced guides and superb cuisine.

The idea completely convinced the members of the expert committee, who explained their decision as follows: “The declared tourism product fills the boutique and highly lucrative segment of fishing tourism. An exclusive experience in nature, given its limited capacity, is likely to always remain prestigious with a limited number of guests. In addition to New Zealand, Alaska, Patagonia and Canada, Slovenia is one of the top five fly fishing destinations. Clean water, biodiversity and the intactness of Slovene rivers are widely untouched contribute to this. The fishing season lasts a good seven months. Fly-fisherman are demanding guests that have a significant influence on the development and improvement of the quality of gastronomic offer and other services, while extending the tourist season. Given the changing market and different consumer habits, it is expected that the Fish & Fly Trio will be very attractive tourism product after the end of the corona pamdemic.

The Commission highlights the experience on three different fishing destinations from the Kolpa River and the Krka River to many tributaries of the Soča River. It’s unique feature enables catching three different fish species — grayling, brown trout and marble trout — and offers a sport airplane ride between the included fishing destinations. With this award, we want to draw the public’s attention to the niche and often under-promoted fly-fishing tourist product, which requires significantly more skills and experience than other fishing methods. ”

In the following days, OTIS will sign an agreement with the Slovenian Tourist Board for cooperation in the field of  Slovenia’s tourist offer recognition.

Kar 60% Slovenije je pokrito z gozdom, kar jo uvršča na tretje mesto med evropskimi državami. Pred nedavnim so na spletni strani https://wifitribe.co/ objavili lestvico najbolj ekološko usmerjenih držav na svetu. V družbi Finske, Španije, Portugalske, Estonije, Malte, Francije in Velike Britanije, se je na prestižen seznam uvrstila tudi Slovenija.

The Krka River (94 km) is the second longest entirely Slovenian river and the longest river in the Dolenjska region. It is among the richest rivers in Slovenia in terms of the diversity of fish species. As many as 52 species of fish live in it.

The Novo mesto fishing club carries out fisheries management of as many as 350 ha of water surface, while also providing for numerous activities in the field of conservation and protection of the natural environment. Fish breeding activities are the ones that provide the richness of fish in the Krka, as the Fishing Family invests as many as nine species of native fish, including brown trout, in fishing waters.

The fly fishing season on River Krka lasts from April to December. The life of the Krka River is rich in every aspect. The fish have a richly lined table all year long. The temperature of the water is relatively stable, so that the conditions for the life of the fish are always optimal. Flies, especially those with a dry fly, know this well.
