Gasteiner Ache Fly Fishing

The Gasteiner Ache, the main river flowing through the valley, offers excellent opportunities for fly fishing in designated sections. The river is known for its clear, cold waters and healthy populations of native trout (brown trout, rainbow trout) and grayling. Fly fishing requires specific permits (available locally, e.g., at fishing shops or tourist offices) and adherence to strict regulations to protect the ecosystem. Various stretches are managed for different skill levels, from easily accessible spots to more challenging, pristine sections. Local guides can be hired for lessons or to lead experienced anglers to the best spots. Day passes typically cost around €40-€70. This tranquil sport allows for a deep connection with nature amidst stunning alpine scenery.
