Where to catch fish successfully ?
Angle in front and on a river eddy, and you will see what angling pleasure is…
On the Gacka river there are several eddies and depts. They are know among local population as abysees. Let us look at them from the source of the Gacka downwards: the Ivakov vir, Kastelišće (presumably named after the world castle since it is located just below the little church of St. Francis at Lešće), the Kriva jama (upward from the mouth of the Sinaćka Pućina to Gacka), the Vir- jama (on the very place where the Sinaćka Pućina joins the Gacka), the Kolakov vir, the depts of the Crvena resa, the Ostovićeva jama (above the former Gacka Hotel), the pit where the Kostelka Brook joins the Gacka, the Grčićka Vir (upstream the second bridge, the first bridge after the bridge on the Lešće-Perušić road), the Vrbanac Dubine (upstream the second bridge), the Maruškićeva Jama (downstream the second bridge), the Cvitković vir (downstream the third bridge, 1 km), the vir-jama Šatrić (downstream the fourth bridge; probably the deepest part of the Gacka bed), and the Mažareva jama (downstream the fifth bridge). Many tales and legends are told of each of these eddies and pits.

How to angle on the Gacka ?
Five anglers- six theories of angling…
The best time of day for angling in April, May and September is from 11a.m. to 3 p.m. and from 7 to 9 in the evening. In July and August it is from 6 to 10 in the morning and from 6 to 8 in the evening. – The best time for angling is when the moon is full. Angling is ideal from the new moon to the first quarter. The east and west winds are unfavourable to anglin, while the south and light north winds are much more favourable. – It is not recommended to walk on the walk on the riverbank, if not badlyneeded. It is better to wait on the spot where fish are know to feed. – in view of the Gacka stream, one should angle in the east-west direction and on the left riverbank, particularly so if the angler is right-handed. – Results are better when using nymph or wet flea as baits. This is to say that angling will last longer, access to fish habitats will be easier, and the bait imitation will at the same time be simpler and less complicated.
