Year-round
Carp fishing at Gajševsko jezero suits bottom-bait tactics with boilies, particles (corn, tiger nuts, hemp) and pellets on a hair rig over a pre-baited area. A PVA bag or stick mix attached to the lead increases attraction. The lower Sava and Drava systems hold excellent populations of large commons and mirrors.
On larger waters like Gajševsko jezero, a spod and marker float are valuable for locating features — gravel bars, plateaux and weed edges — and accurately positioning bait. Overnight sessions (where permitted) significantly increase catches of larger specimens.

All fishing in Slovenia requires a permit from the Ribiška Zveza Slovenije (Fishing Association of Slovenia). Permits are sold by local fishing clubs and available online at ribiskakarte.si — available in English. Slovenia has strict catch limits and slot restrictions, particularly for salmonids and grayling. Always read your permit conditions carefully.
Slovenia's trout and grayling fishing is world-class, particularly on the Soça, Krka and Sava rivers. The salmonid season runs from late February through October on most rivers, with March–June and September–October the prime periods. Carp, pike and zander fishing on the lowland waters (Mura, Drava) is best from April through October. Lake Bohinj and Lake Bled offer outstanding scenery alongside quality trout fishing in the Julian Alps. Summer (July–August) is peak season for most species but fishing pressure is also at its highest.
