Fly Fishing in Austria - Fly Fishing in the Alps - Fly Fishing in Tyrol

Everything your heart desires

Experience nature actively in breathtaking landscapes and share quiet, connecting moments by the water. One of the most beautiful experiences for nature lovers. Most fly fishers will confirm: this passion is far more than a hobby – it’s a gateway to another world.

The Lech flows freely and unhindered for around 70 (!) kilometres from its source in its original riverbed - without cross-building, without a power station. This only exists once in Austria. This is why it is the last wild river in the northern Alpine region. It offers varied and challenging fishing - with fast, turbulent currents, deep pools and calm trickling stretches. All embedded in an alpine postcard idyll.

And to top it off, there is everything that makes Tyrol so special as a holiday destination - excellent cuisine, crystal-clear lakes, clean air, majestic mountains and valleys, countless outdoor activities and a rich cultural offering.

This service website provides an overview of fishing opportunities in the region and presents selected sustainably managed areas.
