About this water

Natural small river with a rich abundance of smaller trout and grayling. Particularly enjoyable for fine dry-fly fishing and nymphing. Less famous than the Otava or Vltava but a genuinely rewarding fishery for anglers who appreciate intimate water, clear runs, and wild fish that reward light tackle and careful approach.
