About this water

Both stocked with native brown trout. Managed trout waters rather than wild systems—legitimate local fishing but stocking dependency should be understood. Small-stream character. Pinka flows south along Austrian border; Répce runs north-west. Cooler months and spring/early summer best. Local association area ticket + state licence required.
