Idrijca pools below the Skvarč farm
Between Stopnik and Laze the Idrijca forms two pools at a left and then right bend below the Skvarč farm, popular with bathers in summer and well lit by the sun. The upper pool, nearly 6 m at its deepest, has an even current that keeps the fish moving. You drift over a shallow into the lower pool, a metre shallower and branched, where eddies and back-currents let big fish lie in ambush. In spring, once the river passes 15 °C, toads gather to mate in the slack water.
depth: 0–6 m
