About this water

High-altitude karst plateau (1,000–1,200m) in south-western Serbia with cold, clear water. Uvac is famous for dramatic meandering canyon (griffon vulture reserve) and the Sjenica lake system. Brown trout and huchen suggest a significant salmonid system. Less well-documented for fly-specific beats than Montenegrin rivers. Remote and rural—check locally for permits and season.
