The Krapina river — the county's main watercourse — flows south from the Macelj ridge through a broad valley holding chub, barbel and carp before joining the Sava at Zaprešić. The Sutla river marks the Slovenian border and holds trout and grayling in its fast upper sections.
The county's small reservoir fisheries and managed carp lakes around Krapina town provide accessible stillwater fishing.
