Walton Europe s richest Trout Stream after driving hours Over sen Omitine tortuous Moun Tain roads that led from Yugoslavia s Adriatic coast in land to the Village of Otocar i found what is perhaps the richest Trout Waters in that country if not in Europe. The Gacka pronounced Gatzka River is a smooth flowing Chalk Stream that rises in a Limestone plateau in West Croatia gathers countless Crystal Springs and flows through Broad Farmland Valley without a single Bush or tree to obstruct the Bac cast. The Meadows Are manicured by scythe and livestock right Down to the water s Edge. You must fish from the Low Banks because the water is four feet deep right under your feet and it about 10 feet deep out there in the Middle. So Rich is he Gacka in Plant Ami insect life and so Large an quickly do the Trout grow that teams of ichthyologists from other european countries Felt they had to establish positive proof of what they deemed might be rampant gossip. Here s what their research revealed extraordinary growth rate that the Gacka has More than 20 species of aquatic Plant that Harbor the eggs and larvae of important Trout Stream insects such As the May Fly ephemera the caddis Fly Tricho Plera and fresh water shrimp scuds a Phidora.
