Central Slovenia encompasses Ljubljana and its river corridors — the Sava, Ljubljanica and Iška — making it the most accessible fishing region in the country for UK visitors flying to the capital. The Sava through Ljubljana holds brown trout, grayling and barbel on public stretches managed by the Ljubljana fishing associations — a unique opportunity to fish a productive alpine river within a major European capital. The Sava below Ljubljana widens and begins to produce catfish, carp and pike alongside the trout.
The Ljubljanica — the river flowing through the old city centre — emerges from the karst springs of the Notranjska plateau and holds grayling, trout and pike in its clear, spring-fed water. The Sava above Ljubljana at Medvode holds excellent grayling and huchen. Ljubljana airport is 30 minutes from the city centre. Permits for Ljubljana Sava stretches are issued by Ribiška zveza Ljubljana — day permits available online.
Key species in Central Slovenia include brown trout, grayling, huchen, barbel, catfish, carp, pike.
