Whether you are a serious angler or just looking to sit in a little boat all day drinking beer (yes, we learnt to fish in Australia), Lake Bohinj and the surrounding rivers are the perfect place to cast your line with the season running from 1 May to 14 November. Standing beside the lake you can see large schools of trout, the waters are also home to Charr, Chub and Burbot, but catching them is another story. To start with you’ll need a licence, gear and skill - or is fishing all about luck? Bohinj being somewhat of a Mecca for Slovene anglers, the lake also hosts an annual international fishing festival at the end of September and beginning of October
