Kupa
River springs from a karstic
well, which is located within Risnjak National Park, like the whole
spring part of the river (7km). In its upper, salmonid part, Kupa is a
typical spring-fed river in terms of its characteristics. More than 20
rivulets and streams join Kupa in first 30 kilometers of its flow,
which
causes a relatively stable temperature and a mostly favourable water
level during the whole fishing season. Kupa River is a real mountain
beauty of the greenish colour. It is characterized by a crystal-clean
and clear water. Kupa flows through a rocky bed in which moss and algae
are predominant as far underwater vegetation is concerned. There are
brown trout, grayling and huchen (danubian salmon) in Kupa.

″We
fish for pleasure, and fishing
becomes pleasure from within ourselves in proportion to the skill and
knowledge,
to the imagination and flexibility of soul that we bring to it.”
Roderick Haig–Brown (A River Never Sleeps)
"Unless one can enjoy himself fishing with the fly, even when his efforts are unrewarded,he loses much real pleasure. More than half the
intense enjoyment of fly-fishing is derived from the beautiful surroundings, the satisfaction felt from being in the open air, the new lease of life secured thereby, and the many, many pleasant recollections of all one has seen, heard and done. "
Charles F. Orvis, 1886
