A river that, with its flow, overflows, springs and the canyon that surrounds it, corresponds to those unreal images of untouched nature. We will take you to the best fly-fishing destination in Serbia, which is known even outside of our country. Coming to this river guarantees you a beautiful experience and a large number of fish caught. Former foreign fly fishermen would agree that Gradac is a river that abounds in a multitude of fish, and is certainly one of the best in this part of Europe. Trophy specimens can also be tricked on an artificial fly. The “Catch and Release” rule applies in this area. We had guests fly fishermen from the most distant countries in the world such as Japan, Jamaica, New Zealand, Norway, America, Russia and others. And everyone agreed on one thing, and that is that Gradac is one of their most favorite fishing rivers, because every day they broke their own records both in the number of fish caught and in the size of the catch.

We are ready to teach you strategy and fly fishing tricks, help you set up and choose flies as well as help you find fish. You will have dedicated help whenever you need it, which guarantees success and comfortable fishing. We strive to give you the ultimate fly fishing experience and make you a better angler, whether you are a beginner or an established fly fisherman. At the customer’s request, we can also provide you with complete fly fishing equipment. Therefore, our goal is to take a maximum of two visiting anglers per guide. Professional guides, in addition to guiding on Gradac, can also take you to other fly-fishing rivers in the region (Đetinja, Drina, Lim, Mlava, Tara, other rivers are also possible if you wish).

The guide will take you right to the good spots and show you how to read the water properly and guide you on what baits and types of flies to offer depending on the time of year and the prevailing conditions. In addition, with a professional guide you can improve your skills in many aspects.
