Upper Soca River was generous to us! The story started with a query of guest from States, willing to explore famous Slovenian River Soca - in a quest for elusive marble trout. We approached him with the information to not lose the marbles before the trip and prepare for unexpected. ![]() The weather forecast in third week of July was great and water levels just a tad below the average, which found us in a position to be able to spot the fish, which made our guide’s role a lot easier. The fish activity was rather low in the morning, rising just before noon. We opted for nymph fishing to start with and got a bite here and there, but it took some time till we hooked a first marmorata. Many bows later we got the third one and we decided to opt for a dry fly sport instead. It would be a pity to not test world famous Fratnik’s fly, so called F-fly on Soca trout. After spotting a decent marble specimen in the transition between faster and slower water, we gave it a try. Several presentations later, when fly landed just right with a parachute cast, the trout took willingly. Marble trout are not renowned for their fighting abilities, but this one was running wildly. All in all, a perfect day in perfect company, surrounded with amazing Julian Alps! Willing to explore Soca, we will be happy to assist you. Sasa
