Not the day for it
River dropping into shape after a lift. Not much stacked in your favour today. Worth an hour if you are nearby, not worth the special trip.

Seasons & zones
  • Trout 1 June30 September
  • Grayling 1 July31 August

    Austrian grayling (Äsche) rules are state and fishery specific. Common pattern: closed 1 January – 31 May (spawning protection); open from June. Individual fishery seasons often end October/November. Always check the local Fischereikarte and specific water permit. This ultra-high-altitude tributary has a very compressed grayling window.

    Season dates are set at state or regional level — confirm the local rules.
