Crna rijeka

Flowing through Dubrovačko-neretvanska županija, Croatia, Crna rijeka is a canal that suits anglers willing to walk a bank. Most fish at Crna rijeka hold in identifiable lies — the same eddies, drop-offs, and shaded undercuts produce trip after trip. After heavy rain, Crna rijeka can colour up and rise quickly; that's often when bigger predators come out to feed, but wading conditions get dangerous.
