Fly-only throughout, a C&R sector, and — unusually for this pack — a season that runs to 30 November, later than almost any other Slovenian salmonid water. RD Železniki and RD Sora manage it between them.

How to fish it · for Grayling
When
Midday window — grayling feed best from late morning into early afternoon.
Where
Work runs and glides — grayling shoal in the bottom third of the water column.
Method
Tight-line nymph the bottom third with weighted patterns.
Kit
10 ft #3 rod, floating line, long leader to 4 lb fluoro for nymphs.
Why this works
Excellent — water temperature is right today, though insect activity could be better. Grayling feeds actively in cold water — peak winter sport.
