Elin's first fly-fishing trip was a resounding success
Hosted trip to Bosnia with Sivan Jansson
Going on a hosted trip can be a big step, especially if you're new to fly fishing.
For Elin, the trip to Bosnia with Sivan Jansson and Outside Travels was exactly what gave her the courage to take that step.
A week filled with fly fishing, camaraderie, and new experiences along some of Europe's most highly regarded fly fishing rivers.
For Elin, who was relatively new to fly fishing, the organized aspect of a hosted trip was an important part of the experience. Traveling with an experienced tour leader, local guides, and a smaller group made the threshold feel significantly lower.
"As a beginner in fly fishing, I really appreciated how helpful and caring everyone was – the tour leader, local guides, and wonderful travel companions. It's a perfect way to both learn more and truly find joy in fishing."
A 47-centimeter grayling after hours of strategy
Perhaps the most memorable moment of the week came with local guide Dragan.
After hours of strategizing and careful presentations, the reward finally came.
"One of the absolute highlights of the trip was when, together with local guide Dragan, after hours of strategizing, I managed to land a 47-centimeter grayling. An experience I will cherish for a long time!"
This is often how fishing in Bosnia is described: technical, visual, and incredibly rewarding when everything aligns. In rivers like Ribnik, Pliva, and Una, grayling, trout, and rainbow trout await in waters that have attracted fly fishers from all over Europe.
That's why we're doing the hosted trip to Bosnia again
After last year's much-appreciated trip, it's especially exciting to announce that the hosted trip to Bosnia with Sivan Jansson is now back.
For those who want to improve their fly fishing skills, experience some of Europe's most beloved rivers, and travel with a secure group, this is a fishing trip that suits many.
More than just fly fishing
What many took home from the week was not just the fishing, but also the camaraderie. The evenings after fishing, shared dinners, and the feeling of quickly becoming part of the group became, for many, at least as memorable as the hours by the river.
