Varaždin county covers the Drava valley between the Slovenian border and Koprivnica, one of northern Croatia's most productive coarse fishing corridors. The Drava through Varaždin county is a fast, gravel-bedded river at the foot of the Zagorje hills, holding huchen, barbel, chub, asp and grayling in its colder upper sections — shifting to a more typical Pannonian profile with catfish and pike further east. The Bednja river, a Drava tributary, adds trout and grayling fishing in the Ivanščica hills.
