We stayed at Tilnik farm again, which is an amazing place. Remote, beautiful, excellent hosts in Kate and Brett plus some friendly pups.
It was another absolutely stonking trip. I had purchased a new Hardy 7'6 Jet with the CC reel especially for the trip (and beck fishing in the UK) on which I caught my biggest ever trout, a 3 1/2lb Rainbow which tore through three consecutive pools while I chased after it, before finally netting.
Revisited a beautiful mountain stream and had some very interesting hiking to get to the fishing spots! Never sweated as much in my life.
Had some fantastic food and wine, visited a local marble trout farm and had the pleasure of a guided day with Gregor Novak again.
Caught plenty of fish including nice marbles and rainbows, but still no elusive grayling (unlike Neil).
Already planning the next trip!
Fantastic welcome at Tilnik Farm
"Small" Slovenia lunch on the first day
Fishing an urban stream...
...which produced this 3+lbs Rainbow
Another nice Rainbow
Beautiful Marble
The only Grayling of the trip
Precarious access...
...worth it
Last fish of the trip, my personal best Marble
Nice write up Tom. It was a cracking trip only slightly spoilt by the extreme heat! Hope to see you next year.
