Fly-Fishing on Unica
Unica are deep and full of mystery

Description

The Unica, with its surrounding countryside, is without doubt the most beautiful chalk stream of continental Europe. Its winding paths, unaltered by the hand of man, meanders through meadows, which in summer become carpets of flowers, many of them botanical rarities. No power cables or other unsightly electrical installations disfigure this superb environment. Parts of the Unica are deep and full of mystery. Whilst on other stretches the river flows briskly over gravel and pebbles offering the angler easy access and comfortable wading. We recommend that all fishermen pay a visit to the sources of this fabulous stream, the swift Malenscica and the powerful Pivka along with the natural caves which are unique in Europe. In spring the Unica often floods the surrounding meadows forming a shallow lake affording plenty of food for all types of fish. Before the introduction of grayling, the Unica was famed throughout Europe for the abundance of large trout. Today the grayling prevails but thanks to the efforts of the Slovenian Fisheries Research Institute, a better balance between trout and grayling is being achieved with a far greater number of quality trout being caught. Some of these trout show signs of the strain of marble trout stocked in the river many years ago. It is true to say that the trout of the Unica are amongst the most beautiful in Slovenia, both in size and color. The Unica is justly famed for its prolific insect life, large hatches of mayfly occur at the end of May and continue for some duration. Sedges and stoneflies also hatch in very large numbers. The Unica is a unique and rare river and no effort will be spared to preserve it for future generations.
