UNA RIVER – fly FISHING REPORT

REPORT FOR : 20.10.2026

FISHING : Solid

WATER LEVEL: Low

BEST TIME OF THE DAY : Afternoon

HATCHES: BWO

MOST PRODUCTIVE TECHNIQUE: Indicator nymphing , euro nymphing , dry fly

PATTERNS: Dry fly – Olive BWO (size #18 – #20) Ants (size #20) , yellow cdc upwing (size #18 – #20) . Nymphs – Pheasant tails (size #16 – #20) , Plivka nymph (size #20) olive cat nymph (size #18) , grey cat nymph size #16.

TACTICS: Good day of fishing with many fish in the net. There was some rain so the water raised a bit which probably made the fish more active. The spot at the train bridge was great , mostly for graylings but also some rainbows. Graylings were mostly eating nymphs under an indicator , while rainbows were more easy to catch on dries. Strange, the rainbows were selective regarding nymph . Grayling were reacting really good to pheasant tails and olive cat nymph , while rainbows were mostly just following the nymph but not eating it at the end. The part in Kulen Vakuf was still really low and with some fishermans so we did not fish it , however what we have seen there was solid dry fly activity over there , with some really big graylings rising . The fishing in Una should get even better in following days.
