Prančevići

Directions

Akumulacija Prančevići

Prančevići is a reservoir on the Cetina near the village of Ugljane, in the river’s canyon below Trilj in inland Dalmatia. It holds back water for the Zakučac hydroelectric plant, and its fish make it a lake for trout anglers.

How it formed

The dam was built in 1961 in the canyon of the Cetina, and the reservoir works as a compensation basin for the Zakučac power plants downstream, evening out the flow of the river before the water is led on to the turbines.

Nature

The lake has the fish of a trout river. Brown trout live here, some taking on the form of lake trout, along with rainbow trout, grayling and peled; the most numerous are the Cetina’s own endemic fish, among them the Illyrian chub, the ukliva and the Dalmatian barbelgudgeon.
