The Drava (Podravska) region follows the Drava river corridor through Maribor — Slovenia's second city — and east to the Croatian border. The Drava here transitions from a fast alpine river (above Maribor) to a broader lowland fishery, holding grayling and trout in the upper sections and carp, catfish, asp, zander and barbel in the middle and lower reaches. The Ptuj reservoir (Ptujsko jezero), formed by damming the Drava near Slovenia's oldest town, is the region's premier stillwater with pike, catfish, carp and bream.
The Dravinja and Pesnica tributaries drain the Pohorje hills and Kozjansko uplands, providing smaller-river trout fishing above their lowland sections. The Ptuj marshes along the lower Drava floodplain hold tench, pike and carp in sheltered oxbows. Maribor airport serves the region; Graz (Austria) is 60 minutes. Day permits for the Drava and Ptujsko jezero are available from Ribiška zveza Maribor.
Key species in Drava include grayling, trout, catfish, carp, asp, zander, pike, bream, tench.
