Una - The One: A Fly Fishing Documentary
A Fly Fishing & Conservation Documentary
"This film is more, much more than the ordinary fly fishing film [...], this film is a shout to the world!" - lemouching.com
Like many others of Europe's last free-flowing rivers in the Balkan region, the Una is in permanent danger of being destroyed by a series of hydro dams. It is one of the few last rivers in the world with a healthy, wild Hucho (Danube Salmon) population and an amazing fishery.
For Bosnian guide Anes Halkic, the Una is not just a river. It is his life. In "Una - The One", we follow him in his fight against dams while searching for Hucho on the fly with Austrian guides Christof Menz and Uwe Rieder.

I was born 48 years ago on the banks of the river Una. I was raised to guard the river Una, and that's how I raise my children and their children. NO ONE WILL EVER BUILD A SINGLE HYDRO POWER PLANT ON THE UNA RIVER!!!! The 200,000 of us who were born and live by the river Una will not allow that. All other well-intentioned people of the world are WELCOME to enjoy the beauty of the Una River.
Im 47 was raised on the beach in santa cruz California. I agree we feel the same about the ocean. Hope to fly fish the una one day 🤙🙏
im glad to hear that !! FIGHT FOR THAT RIVER. here in sweden we are fighting to demolish dams that we build in the 70s and the goverment is starting to do it right now... so fight so u dont need to do like us !
The Una, The one, a truly rare pearl on this planet should be promoted as an UNESCO World Heritage Site. It can't be said and done enough to protect this wonder of nature. Hopefully there's an awakening due this worldwide pandemic upside down world we're all facing in 2020 that nature is our origin but not money. Thank you so much for this outstanding documentary. Remarkable done!
Couldn't agree more, easily one of the most beautiful places that I ever seen!
Word!
I hope you don’t do the same as what we have done to are Scottish rivers, farm fish has nearly finished off are west coast rivers, I blame are government When I was younger it would be easy to catch dozen sea trout in a night, and catch 20 salmon for the week if we had plenty of rain, now you’re lucky to catch 2 sea trout and a salmon for the week. Only dam that have part worked in Scotland is on the river Tummel at Pitlochry, I don’t really agree with no dams on rivers, rivers should be left alone and man should not touch them, man has done enough damage to the world.
Films like this inspire me to stand up for nature I am English and we have ruined our land I really hope that this won’t happen to other places
Ich war 2022 im Nationalpark Una. Es ist traumhaft schön dort. Ein Naturparadies, das wir es für die zukünftigen Generationen erhalten müssen.
Najljepša na svijetu... Imao sam sreću što sam odrastao uz nju kao dijete... Toliko ju volim i Mladice u njoj kojima se radujem... svake godine barem na 5 dana da joj se vratim... Samo da ju gledam mi je dovoljno... Jedna jedina..... Una
Absolut mega, Respekt 👍👍👍👍👍 sowos muas erhoidn bleim. 👌🎣🤙🎣
besten Dank!
Really a very well made film. Save your Una.
We need to protect these places. Forever. Thank you for a great film.
On a fly fishing road trip to Slovenia and Croatia in 2009, I crossed the border near Nebljusi to see the Una. I had already fished the Sava Bohinjka, Sora and Curak Creek with varying degrees of success. I never got to fish the Una. I didn't have the time. But I seen it. The memory of that visit has stayed in my mind so many years later, as the river I have always wanted to cast a line onto. Not necessarily to catch a fish, but to simply, be there. I dearly hope it stays the same, and provides future generations with the same magical memories as me.
Bravo, super film. Bosna, tako je lepa, kao raj. Una je definitivno jedna od najlepsih reka...nadam se da ce se sacuvati za buduce generacije
Save Una, Protect this beautiful river! Fight, fight, fight for her!
Absolutely breathtaking... I've been fly fishing my whole life, and I have never seen a place so rich and full of life. Perhaps the river itself is alive.
Atta boi
The most beautiful river in all of Europe. We have to save it!
Three weeks ago I had the pleasure of returning to Bosnia for the first time in 40 years. I had a blast as I went, among other things, fly fishing in Una National Park. It was nothing short of phantastic! What a true wonder of nature that definitely, at all means, needs to be protected! I'll be back, for sure.
Such a beautiful area. I'm from Scotland and we have similar river systems with no water in them because some have been dammed for power generation. The people of Scotland do not benefit from any of this. Big companies make money and something must change to protect these last bastions of natural beauty like the UNA. Tight lines
Please preserve this stunning river. What a gorgeous place to live 💙🏴
Vielen Dank für diesen wunderschönen Film und diese emotional Bilder und Hintergrundgeschichten 😍 ich liebe eure Filme
The whole river needs to be turned into a National Park so that no dams can be built on it.
Better would be UNESCO world heritage. And yes it is beautiful as shown. Neretva is also unique, but there are several dams on it. We need the cold fusion now ... but this would solve almost all the problems in the world 😂
Unfortunately the power of money is always stronger than the strongest flowing river. This diamond of nature may not be lost to some kind of criminal investors only interested in making money. The Una is the Nr. 1 and should stay Nr. 1. It must stay as it is now. Thank you for this extraordinary beautiful film. I will sure visit next year. Greetings and tight lines from the Čech Republic 🇨🇿.
Amazing documentary. I am very aproud
A wonderful wonderful documentary....let's keep this river clean...keep industry out !
Bistro - Nice Video
I was raised fishing the rivers in the USA. To me, rivers seem to be alive and always changing, which is different than a lake that seems to usually remain the same. People seem to be river people or lake people and many times are very different people. Being raised on the rivers, I have many fond memories and a special place in my heart for them. Hoping and praying for the very best for the Una and the river people who love her.
Free flowing rivers are the veins of the planet. All fishermen know that many forms of life, including our own, cannot survive without the natural movement of rivers. In many places we have learned this lesson too late and we are slowly removing dams. Unfortunately, this does not immediately reverse the damage done and nature struggles to return to its natural state. I hope for the people of the Una that your leaders understand this lesson and keep the waters of this unique river flowing free. This is a great film with an important message!
Great film! Thank you for that!!!
Damn, feels like I need to add this to a must list of places to fish! Amazing video, thank you for the content and the awareness.
Thank you for this presentation , keep it wild....
It makes me happy that there are places like this in the world. Great doc!

very welcome!
Thank you so much for this beautiful film. Like you Anes I grew up on the rivers of British Columbia in Canada and fly fishing is in my DNA. We all have to band together to save these beautiful rivers, the last of their kind. I am a supporter and hope to come to visit your beautiful country and cast a fly with you someday soon.
Beautiful place and river🙂
Well done on the beautiful depiction of everything pertaining to the river, life in Bosnia and the fly fishing industry. Schon gemacht.
Uau! Seus vídeos são inspiradores e muito bons! Parabéns!!!
Beautiful video Save beautiful Rivers.fom Albanien
I guess I'm not the only one that sat down to check the possibility to move to Bosnia after this..
What a wonderful place to fish you are blessed with this river.
I got the chance to fly fish in Slovenia, and loved every minute of it. Never been to Bosnia but it looks just as beautiful. Carry on the struggle my friends, cheers
Beautiful and interesting film!
Замечательно снято.. Завораживает!!
Incredible.
Fantastic film!! I'd love tp visit from America one day!!
What a gem of a river
Great video, nice edition, better people. Still doing the best for nature! Yes, you are not alone. Thanks 👍👍👍👍
Great story, great message. I’d like to fish there.
geiler film,, mega... weiter soo
Masterpiece!
thanks very much!!!
My hope at the beginning of the pandemic, these big industrial will realize the impossibility to continue to abused our environnement, our planet. But, a year past end from what i can see, they want change nothing of what there doing. If us the people, want to have a better place to live for our children, we have to change our way of living and i couldnt agree more with the message on your teeshirt, live simply, that's the only way to take the time to appreciate the natural beauty of the nature around and realize the limit of the greedy exploitation have to stop. More, more, more, how much more do we need to be happy and how many unhappy do we left on the passage of « the progress ». Thank's for this beautiful documentary, you live in paradise.
MARAVILLOSO LUGAR, OJALÁ ALGÚN DÍA PUEDA LLEGAR A CONOCER ESOS PAISAJES , ESOS RÍOS Y MONTAÑAS Y DISFRUTAR DE LO QUE LA NATURALEZA NOS A REGALADO, DESDE ARGENTINA, ÉXITOS!!!!!
We need more “Brothers on the Fly” videos! I love these. So well put together
What a masterpiece
Thanks so much!
amazing, I want to be there , Protect here !!!
Greste movie and only one river Una. Anes you are not alone. I hope that we meat some time in Bosanska Krupa. Maybe next year 😀
You have all my understanding...
Beautiful documentary 👍
Thanks so much!
Beautiful film. Bravo.
Thanks very much!
what a beautiful film thank you. Good luck with your fight against hydro-dams on the Una. It looks a precious and unique habitat that has to be spared exploitation.
Try this film from the USA. It is remarkable that this wonderful river, trhough personal dedication and sacrifice was saved from damming. Now, where is the Una's link to immortality to make sure of the same outcome? modernhuntsman.com/films/the-dam-that-never-was-conservation-story-yellowstone-river-randy-newberg
Hermoso paisaje.y rios parecido a los de mi Patagonia Argentina ...lastima que ya solo lo disfrutan los que compraron los terrenos de las costa de rios y lagos alambraron y custodiados .. solo lo disfrutan unos pocos¡¡saludos¡¡¡
Starke Doku, starke Botschaft, bleibt am Ball um diese Paradiese zu schützen ✊🤙 Wenn ich nicht so schlecht wäre im Fliegenfischen, würde ich euch mal unterstützen 😄
Nice place! 👍
Very beautiful river would love to fish it someday. Here in Pennsylvania coal mining has destroyed a lot of our rivers and streams I hope and pray the Una. Stays untouched.
Where in Pennsylvania are you? I live in Columbia country near bloomsburg
Fantastic film and River! It would be a dream for you all to keep the Hydro away. There are few places of such majesty left. Down-under in NZ we also face much degredation on our beautful Rivers so my heart rests with you all.
Indeed! Thanks for your comment!
Hydro will never set foot here but another huge problem just came out in 5000 gallons of radioactive nuclear fuel that Croatia wants to dump just 800m of the river. Bosnian government is doing absolutely nothing regarding this issue and this could be the end of Una we all know.
Because of the accent I couldn't understand the Fish species they were talking about it sounded like Who Who to me but realized they were saying Huchen, which after some googling I realized is the Danube Salmon or Red Fish to some people. Before seeing this video I have never even heard of those fish. The huchen reaches about 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in) in length and more than 50 kg (110 lb) in weight.[8] The average length is between 60 to 120 centimetres (24 to 47 in). The huchen has a slender body that is nearly round in cross-section. On the reddish brown back are several dark patches in an X or crescent shape, but most distinctive feature is fishes head, which is larger than in other salmonides (longer and wider), with large elongated mouth. Smaller fish feed on the larvae of water insects or on insects dropped into the water; the larger individuals are predators of other species of fish and other small vertebrates. Now I understand completely why people why to save these Rare beauties ! Amazing video I loved every minute of it
Welcome to Bosnia and try fishing here u ill never forget....
These Brothers need more videos! I NEED MORE. HAHA
Some more fly fishing from Una river
Awesome film. Hope the Una stays dam free. I remember reading in Mcclanes fishing encyclopedia as a kid about huchen, took me a minute to realize what fish your guys were talking about, never new how to pronounce it lol.
I just feel one thing very clearly: We must all stand up and together to protect and respect our beautiful nature. “If we dont love it - We wont protect it” (Flip Pallot) Lets learn our children and future generation to really experience and love our nature…
The Soča (Isonzo) is such a river, too.
This makes me want to fish so bad and its 15 degrees and snowing in Tennessee. Cmon spring!!
That is a great film, opening me the door to your others productions. Good job BrothersOnTheFly! What you do is beautiful to watch and inspiring. Is the music chosen in your video are showed somewhere? I would like to know the artists to purchase their full songs. May be you could have an additional webpage presenting your soundtracks. That would be good for artist's promotion. I am especially looking for the song right beginning The UNA's movie, and the other playing around 23rd minutes. Thanks and great job again!
I love this documentary so much. Where can I find the music? I’d listen to it everyday.
It’s a place where people and nature work hand and hand...really it is a food source just like the sea but it must be regulated so the source can replenish itself.
I want to go to Bosnia now.
stark
Such HUGE fly rods😳
Really awesome video!I Thank you for that amazing footage, ive never seen such a river, we have a few freeerunning rivers left in sweden but nothing like that! May I ask if only flyfishing is allowed or if the river allows spinnfishing to? And again thank you very much for an awesome half an hour!
As a fisherman on that river all i can say is both types of fishing are allowed spin and fly but there are certain areas only for fly
Depends on the stretch of the river. Lots of spinning also going on.
Big problem around Europe...I live in a region where dams destroyed 95x100 of the Atlantic salmon waters. We have to fight to stop this all Around together
Great video. I love Una. Do you speak croatia?
