FISHING TOURISM

ECO-CENTRE LONCARI

This interesting experiment is on the halfway mark between Banja Luka and Prijedor. Armed with only a beautiful piece of property, a few men had a vision of creating an eco-centre in the Omarska area. They built a 30-acre park complete with walking paths, ten ponds/lakes for fishing and swimming, and a health food restaurant. The dense hardwood forests cover a good part of the centre and there are walking trails through them. Hunting is not permitted.

THE SAVA RIVER

...also, is an interesting waterway. Aside from it being a major navigation alley to the Danube there are dozens of hidden spots for canoeing and high quality fishing. There are many fishing associations in the region that can organize competitions and outings.

PLIVA LAKE REGION

The pure, spring-fed waters in the rivers and lakes of the Pliva River Region have provided superb fishing opportunities for decades. The Pliva River has a well-deserved reputation as one of Europe's best fly fishing rivers.
