Slovenia's Marble Trout

October 9, 2006 By: Marshall Cutchin

“Fishery biologists originally thought the marble trout was a subspecies of brown trout, but scientific data has since determined it is a separate species altogether and not a hybrid. More research turned up little information on this trout … other than it grows to an enormous size, is difficult to catch on a fly and lives a very reclusive life under the giant boulders dotting the Soca River system.” Fishing Jones picked up an interesting piece by Jim Niemiec on ESPN.com about fly fishing for Slovenia’s elusive marble trout.
