Slovenia is the native home of five species within the salmonids.
Huchen or Danube Salmon as this species is known. Is a large growing piscivore Salmonid native to the Danube River basin in Slovenia. Fishing season for huchen in Slovenia is from October to half February. And on most of the rivers it is only allowed to fish under supervision of a guide or member of the fishing family.
Marble trout are a large growing predatory trout species which are native to the Adriatic River’s River basin of Slovenia. The fishing season starts end of march and continues to end of October.
Brown trout is the most caught native species of Slovenia. It is native to the Danube basin in Slovenia. originally the brown trout found here would have been from the Danubian lineage but sadly most stocked fish have been of the Atlantic lineage. We hope that this will change in the future. Fishing season for brown trout starts in April and ends in September.
Also known as European grayling is a species with an exceptionally large dorsal fin. In Slovenia it is found in the Danube River basin. Fishing season for Danubian grayling starts half of may and ends in November.
Also known as the Adriatic Grayling is a species closely related to the European grayling but it is lighter in colour with some yellow on its body and a blueish grey dorsal fin. Currently the grayling found in the Soča River basin are hybridised fish and thus we decided to exclude this species from the Slovenian Native Slam.
