Fly fishing.

Gacka River sits in Lika & Gorski Kotar, a part of Croatia with its own character, and the natural attraction is the reason most people stop.

Pack water and shade, these spots rarely have either.

## Practical info

- **Entry:** check the official site for today's price and hours. These move with the seasons, and some locations close fully outside the main window.
- **How to get there:** Tap the map for the route. Croatian town parking is mostly paid and marked with blue P signs; if your trip involves an island, build buffer time in for the ferry.

## When to go

Gacka River rewards a visit between **May and October**. The sweet spot is June or September, when the water is warm and the crowds thinner than in July and August. Come in winter and you find a quieter, cheaper country, at its most likeable inland.
