DurationHalf day, full day or 2 days

Fish the emerald Soca with a guide who grew up on its banks. This trip focuses on sight fishing for marble trout, the river’s legendary native predator, and drifting dries over pods of grayling on the long gravel runs. Mornings usually start on quieter tributary water, afternoons on the main river once the light gets low enough to spot fish.

About your guide

Luka Kravanja

17 years of experience · English, Slovenian, Other

Luka started fishing the Soca with his grandfather at six years old and has guided it full time since 2009. He is licensed by the Tolmin Angling Club, ties his own marble trout streamers, and knows which pool holds fish at every water level. If the main river is off, he will take you to water that still fishes.
