River Gacka is an extremely slow, quiet chalk stream in Lika — one of Croatia’s most famous salmonid waters. Year-round temperatures sit around 9.4°C, so the fishery stays stable when other rivers swing hard.
Brown trout here grow 5–7× faster than on many comparable streams, with specimens reported to 8 kg. Rainbows share the beat. Presentation and patience matter more than distance casting.
Book a guided half or full day with lunch, startup flies, and day transport. Prefer a multi-night stay? See our Gacka chalk-stream package.
