In June 2018 we finally managed to re-visit Austria. Familiar faces have
aged and so have we. Yet the rivers were running just the same, as they
did 13 years earlier.
The most popular target is brown trout (Bachforelle).
Complemented with Brook trout (Saibling) and Rainbow trout (Regenbogen forelle), both introduced from
North America.
Though you need a boat and local expertise, you can fish for a real trophy
Pike and Zander in the alpine lakes.
Warmed up by the sunshine, the ice perched on the alpine peaks slowly melts,
providing steady water supply.
It is a pleasure to walk by the river, observing many different faces of
water and its peaceful surroundings.
To cast a line on a sunny day, admiring the
breathtaking mountain view, is a fly fisher's
delight in the supreme.
Most of the waters are classified as Fly
only, C&R only. For those of us having no problem with that, Austria is simply a paradise
on earth.
Austria is a country of rivers, valleys and mountains. Wonderful landscape
can be enjoyed especially in the states of Tirol & Salzburg. So can
be fishing!
In a small pastoral village we ran into a
horseback parade, celebrating the advent
of the alpine summer.
