Primorje-Gorski Kotar county covers the Kvarner Bay coastline and the Gorski Kotar mountain region, offering one of the most scenically dramatic fishing landscapes in Croatia. The Gorski Kotar plateau holds clear mountain streams — the Kupa rises here near Risnjak National Park and descends through forested gorges holding brown trout, huchen and grayling before becoming a coarse fishery on the Pannonian plain. The Mrežnica and Dobra rivers rise on the plateau's eastern flanks and flow towards Karlovac through spectacular canyon scenery.
