SECTOR 01
BUNA River Upper
The Buna River is one of the cleanest and most beautiful rivers in Bosnia and Herzegovina, located in Herzegovina, near the city of Mostar. It springs from the impressive source in Blagaj, one of the strongest karst springs in Europe, and reaches a width of around 10–15 metres right from its origin. The river flow is calm and crystal clear, with depths ranging from 1 to 4 metres, while certain pools can reach even greater depths. The Buna is known for its exceptionally clean and cold water, which creates ideal conditions for salmonid fish species. The most common fish species in the Buna are brown trout, softmouth trout (an endemic and strictly protected species), grayling, and rainbow trout. The river is particularly valued among fly fishermen due to its crystal-clear water, challenging fishing conditions, and rich fish population. Thanks to its remarkable natural beauty, biodiversity, and high conservation standards, the Buna ranks among the most prestigious fly-fishing destinations in Europe.
Eligible fish occurring: all salmonid species
SECTOR 02
STURBA River Upper
The Sturba is a river in the southwestern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the municipality of Livno. It flows through the Livno Plain. It springs in the place after which it is named. It supplies the surrounding places with drinking water through a built water supply system. The Sturba is 14.5 km long. It is best known for its rich fish stock – especially brown trout and grayling. Anglers come for the clean water and rich fish stock, and the local community takes care of preserving the ecosystem. A special fishing district was opened on the Sturba in 2005, where brown trout and grayling live for sport fishing.
Eligible fish occurring: all salmonid species
