Waters Managed by RD Šempeter.

RD Šempeter manages several rivers and streams within the Savinja basin, ranging from the larger Savinja River to smaller tributaries and streams.

• Savinja – The Savinja is the main river managed by RD Šempeter and offers a varied mixture of gravel beds, deeper pools, faster runs, and slower sections. The river supports Brown Trout and Grayling and is particularly notable for its Huchen fishing, with large specimens present in the river. The lower sections also become more diverse as the river flows through a broader valley environment, offering a mixture of salmonid and other freshwater habitats.
• Bolska – The Bolska is a tributary of the Savinja, offering smaller-scale river fishing with a mixture of faster runs, pools, and more structured sections. The river supports Brown Trout and Grayling and provides a more intimate alternative to fishing the larger Savinja.
• Ložnica – The Ložnica is a smaller tributary of the Savinja with a mixture of natural and more modified sections. It supports Brown Trout and Grayling and offers varied fishing conditions depending on the section of river.
• Motnišnica – The Motnišnica is a small tributary of the Bolska, offering intimate stream fishing in a narrower environment. The stream holds Brown Trout and provides a more technical fishing experience compared with the larger rivers of the district.
  

Licenses.

Fishing permits for RD Šempeter waters can be purchased through Ribiške Karte and other authorized sales points. Permits are available for individual waters and fishing methods, so anglers should check the conditions of the specific permit before fishing.
