Soča Trout |  Soška Postrv

Salmo marmoratus

 

Commonly known as the marble trout, this large, predatory salmonid is hard to understand, and even harder to catch. Endemic to rivers of the Adriatic Sea Drainage, it has defied the odds and survived ice ages, earthquakes and human ignorance (i.e. hybridization, habitat degradation and pollution). Notable for its hypnotic marbled pigmentation and elusive behavior, it’s the crown jewel of alpine rivers and maintains a global stronghold in the Soča River and tributaries, where it shows incredible phenotypical diversity and is the ultimate catch for serious anglers.

 

With a streamlined, muscular body adapted for life in fast-flowing streams, it exhibits remarkable growth potential in low-density environments. It feeds primarily on smaller fish and aquatic insects and occasionally terrestrial vertebrates. In 2009 the biggest Soča River marble trout was caught measuring 120 cm and weighting 22.5 kg.

 

To glimpse one through the crystal-clear water is a rare privilege; to hook one, a true honour; and to hold one in your hands—a once-in-a-lifetime gift.

To veliko salmonidno ribo, primerno imenovano soška postrv, je težko razumeti, še težje pa ujeti. Kot endemit rek jadranskega povodja je skozi veke kljubovala vsem neprilikam in preživela ledene dobe, potrese in človeško nevednost (tj. hibridizacijo, gradnjo jezov, degradacijo habitatov in onesnaževanje). Znana je po svoji hipnotični marmorirani pigmentaciji in izmuzljivem vedenju. Je prava kraljica alpskih voda, ki ohranja svojo trdnjavo v reki Soči in njenih pritokih, kjer kaže neverjetno fenotipsko raznolikost in predstavlja nepozabni ulov za le najbolj izkušene ribiče.

 

Hrani se predvsem z manjšimi ribami in vodnimi žuželkami, občasno pa tudi s kopenskimi vretenčarji. Njeno hidrodinamično in mišičasto telo, prilagojeno življenju v hitro tekočih alpskih vodotokih, kaže izjemen potencial za rast do zavidljivih velikosti. Leta 2009 je ribič pri Tolminu ujel soško postrv, ki je merila 120 cm in tehtala kar 22,5 kg.
 

Opazovati eno izmed njih v kristalno čisti vodi je redek privilegij; zapeti jo na trnek je prava čast; držati jo v rokah pa izkušnja, ki je ne pozabiš nikoli.

 

Edini način, da enega izmed njih vidite od blizu, kot to dobro vedo piloti jadralnih padal, je vrtenje termičnega stebra vzdolž grebenov nad dolino Soče. Toda že opazovanje jastreba s tal je posebno doživetje in opomnik, da v Julijskih Alpah še vedno veljajo prvobitna pravila divjine.

    Our Soča Trout tee is printed on a 100% organic combed-cotton T-shirt. Unlike other organic cotton T-shirts, our shirts are made with combed cotton, giving it a soft, worn-in feel, superior drape, excellent colour fastness and durability throughout multiple washes.


    All our t-shirts are printed using discharge printing, a technique which removes the fabric dye before applying the design. This results in a soft, breathable, flexible print that feels like part of the fabric.


    This shirt has tailored, unisex fit. We suggest that women order one size down, and men order a size up. For best care results, follow care label instructions.

     

    Slo-Tees are designed in the Soča Valley, drawn near Bled and printed near Maribor, Slovenia.
