Savica

Savica — River Savica reflections

A short, cold link between the Savica waterfall and the head of Lake Bohinj, and the reason the lake's jezerska postrv — the lake-run brown trout form Lake Bohinj holds — can run somewhere at all.

About this water

A short, cold link between the Savica waterfall and the head of Lake Bohinj, and the reason the lake's jezerska postrv — the lake-run brown trout form Lake Bohinj holds — can run somewhere at all. Not a river you fish for its own length so much as a place you fish because the lake fish are moving through it. Small water, treat it gently.
