Fly Fishing Guides in Slovenia: Meet the Team

It began with a quiet calling: the river. I’m Bruno, and for me, fly fishing has never been just a pastime; it is a way of living. Based right here in Ljubljana, I realized that the beauty of these waters was meant to be shared, not kept hidden. I wanted to build something that went beyond standard tourism—a fly fishing guiding experience that feels like fishing with an old friend.

My approach is deeply rooted in the culture and history of the sport; I love the rhythm of classic tackle and the timeless traditions of the stream. My heart truly beats for the technical challenge of matching the hatch on our crystal-clear Karst waters, deceiving a rising Grayling with the perfect dry fly. But to truly cover every river and style, I knew I couldn’t walk these banks alone. I needed a team that shared this same devotion.

That’s where Matej comes in. If you’ve ever wondered what pure, youthful enthusiasm looks like, you’ll find it when Matej is netting a trophy fish. He brings a dynamic, modern energy to the river and an incredible mastery of all fly fishing techniques, from delicate nymphing to swinging heavy streamers.

While I enjoy the history, Matej lives for the hunt. He is the specialist you want by your side when chasing the ghost of our waters: the massive Marble Trout. With a sharp eye and endless patience, he is the perfect professional guide to help you land the catch of a lifetime, ensuring the vibe remains fun, educational, and absolutely unforgettable.

Completing our circle is Stefano, the man who connects the mountains to the valley. With one foot in the iconic Dolomites and the other in the lush Slovenian rivers, Stefano brings a deep spirituality and a contagious positivity to every group. He is a profound observer of the natural world, understanding that the silence and the scenery are just as important as the fish.

A master of the minimalist Japanese Tenkara technique, he focuses on the pure essence of the stream. He is also a gifted expert in nature photography; he captures the magic of the day, creating stunning photo reportages for our guests so the memory lasts forever. Together, we are three anglers devoted to the same goal: getting you out on the water, rod in hand, chasing the next unforgettable memory.
