Fly Fishing Plav Region – Montenegro
If you are looking for a great location for fly fishing in the Balkans, the region of Plav in Montenegro is certainly a ultimate choice. Two beautiful rivers, Lim and Ljuca, with fly-only-no-kill fishing regulation and the turquoise Lake of Plav are the great places for FF adventure.
Lim
The most popular part of this region is the river Lim. It springs from the lake, and first several kilometers of the river are always clear, rich in insects and very attractive with plenty of grayling and brown trout.
In this part, the river Lim is about 30m wide and suitable for relaxed wading. It flows through the plateau, surrounded with meadows and bushes. Fish are very often feeding on the surface, attracted by massive hatches.
Ljuca
The river Ljuca is fantastic spring creek feed by gin-clear and ice-cold Ali Pasha Springs at the foot of the high and rocky Prokletije mountain. It is famous by large grayling.
Ljuca is quite slow and deep tributary to the lake. It flows through the meadows and makes many meandres before it reaches the lake.
Fish of Ljuca are little harder to catch then in Lim. Hatches are not so massive and frequent, so most of the day the best way to catch larger fish is on the nymph.
Lake
The Lake of Plav is natural lake with endemic lake trout, grayling, huchen (danube taimen) and pike.
The lake has elliptical shape, with diameter of 1-2 kilometers. The maximum depth is about 9m. For fishing the lake is best to use a boat, that can be easily rented.
Fly fishing for endemic lake trout is extraordinarily experience. Almost every summer evening you can see 2-5 kg rising fish on large sedges. Also, mayfly time is not good to miss.
And, if you love streamer fishing for pike or huchen, this is a place to be. Big-gamers can found large pike cruising clear-water surface near the bank and weed, and you can easily hear the stories about world-largest huchen of Plav.
Briefly and clearly, in this place you have the best full-time variety of fly fishing that can be imagined.

River Tara, Fly Fishing In The Deepest Canyon In Europe
Long, deep and beautiful
The famous Montenegrin river Tara dug the second-deepest canyon in the world, 80 km long and 1333 m deep. Besides, this river is not famous just by huge rocks around but also by the gin-clear water. Due to the incredible beauty, river Tara and this canyon are protected by law and UNESCO.
Location
The Tara Canyon is in middle to lower part of the river Tara in northern Montenegro. It is part of the Durmitor National Park.
The River
Tara is medium-size freestone river with an average width of 30 m. During the summer, at lowest water level, it is suitable for wading in many places. Besides to the deep pools there are many shallows, and nearby fast riffles there is always some quiet part of the stream.
Fish & Fly Fishing
Tara is populated almost exclusively with wild Salmonids, brown trout, grayling and huchen. Fly fishing in this clear and cold river is sometimes easy, but not always. Let’s say that Tara Canyon is not a rich fishery for newborn flyfishers, but the place for experienced adventurers and anglers.
Precisely balanced tackle, light tippets (0.10 – 0.14mm) and small tiny flies (#14-20) are recommended, especially for Tara’s grayling.
Brown trout is here also highly selective and wary too, but size of the fly can be a little bit bigger (#10-16).
Nymphists can enjoy lot of styles, but also very interesting and exciting nymphing-on-sight. Simply, nymphist can see his prey in incredibly clear water and lead the nymph to it, watching fish reaction.
Of course, there is opportunity of streamer fishing. Besides the popular brown trout, there is a mighty Danube-taimen, the huchen. In this canyon they are not so big as in Mongolia, but in almost every pool can be found a specimen of 5-10 kg.
