The river murmurs before the pack arrives — clear riffles thread between pebble bars and a guide rigs a rod beside a shallow pool. On a half-day trip from Ključ, anglers step out beneath steep banks where the Sana cuts a cool corridor through folded limestone and mixed beech stands, each cast an invitation to the trout that hold in current seams.
